Apple has already said they can scan your device, using on-device hardware and software, for CSAM and report that to the FBI. Yes, CSAM is bad and shouldn’t exist, but today it’s just CSAM that’s illegal and reported, tomorrow it will be the fact that one is LGBTQ+ or anti-fascist. They said they decided not to do it, but can you really trust them?
No amount of E2E encryption will protect you from an on-device spy that can scan and upload what is sitting on your phone every time you unlock it and therefore decrypt it. Your data has to be decrypted for you to interact with it, E2E only protects you when your device is in your adversary’s hands.
From your other posts you seem to be knowledgeable about security and privacy, how is it that you are turning a blind eye to this well known “feature” of Apple devices and just trusting their word that it isn’t enabled? Why are you so bent on propping up Apple as a secure platform when it’s so glaringly obvious they can’t be trusted with your data?

because, while I use GrapheneOS, it’s a little hard to set up and lacks some creature comforts. Android devices outside of GOS/CalyxOS/Lineage are probably even less secure than iPhones.
but perhaps it’s better for me to encourage everyone to bite the bullet and switch to Pixels running GOS. it really isn’t that hard.
