Apple has been offering an excellent [iOS Security White Paper](https://www.apple.com/privacy/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf) since at least 2012, and it's very informative. I highly encourage everyone to read it. It even explains some annoyances of iOS; for instance, [this week's Upgrade episode](http://www.relay.fm/upgrade/56) discussed, [in Gruber's words](https://daringfireball.net/linked/2015/10/01/upgrade-56), "the lousy, painstaking, and at times downright confusing experience of migrating to a new iOS device", and once you read the white paper you'll realize that many things just can't be migrated due to iOS's hardware security model — basically, certain classes of data are encrypted with crypto keys baked into the silicon (see the section "Hardware security features"). I'm not saying the migration experience should be this painful (I would love to see it fixed or improved), but at least there's an explanation.[^migration]
