 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.  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."

Yep. Only a complete moron would put their personal stuff on a work device. At the very least, if you quit or are fired from the job, or the company simply wants to updgrade devices, you have to give the device back.
Similarly, why would anyone use a personal account for work stuff?
Of course, this is simply the usual nonsense by the woo-woo conspiracy nutters who think *everyone* is spying on them. (Unfrotauntely, far too many Americans do seem to belong to the conspiracy nutter "religion".  :-\
