>How do you apply that seemingly unassailable stance to something like iPhone/iCloud

A: if you want to keep it secret. How often do people find themselves in once in a lifetime moments that they want to keep secret, and want to take photos of, but only have an iphone with them?

B: iphones are not the only phones with built in cameras. If you care about privacy to that extent, you wouldn't own one.

That said, I agree with you. One example is when Service providers unilaterally change their tos by asserting that continued usage implies consent. This puts too much power in the hands of companies like Facebook, where many users are too embedded not to continue.
