I carry two iPhones precisely for this reason.  One is a company phone
and the other a personal phone.  Once we were informed company phones
would be monitored and certain apps would be restricted from being
installed, I knew it was time to get my own phone. 

If it's genuinely a company phone - i.e. bought and provided by them - then
they're entitled to restrict use as they see fit.

My company phone
has nothing on it except for iOS and Microsoft Office suite.  I also
have two Apple IDs, a personal and a work one.
 
If the Apple employees don't want their personal lives monitored they
can carry two phones too.  The part of the article which concerns me is
this and I don't quite understand the reasoning behind it:
"To evade Apple’s surveillance, employees could use a work-owned device
and use a separate iCloud account only for work, but the suit says the
company “actively discourages” work-only iCloud accounts."

I mean it's a suit. Anyone can allege what they want in a suit even things
that don't make sense. I wouldn't put any weight on it.
