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."

That last sentence is pure bullshit. 🤣 I have friends who are long-time
Apple employees. Every one of them I have asked about this tells me
Apple definitely does not "actively discourage" work Apple accounts. And
each of them does indeed use separate iCloud accounts for work and home.
