Jul 29, 2015 9:31 AM in response to Kilgore-Troutby nganesh0402,I am new to the iPhone and This is just to ensure that the data stored on the phone is secured. As the world moves on AIR/Cloud security about the data talks whole. If a person could have your personal information (Name, Contact Details, Credit Card details) there are possibilities to scam around. As a precautionary measure wanted to know about this.

So, no, there is no way to assure you there isn't a security issue. If you have not jailbroken the device, and follow some basic precautions (not clicking on links in emails you are not familiar with, protecting your login credentials for all accounts, avoid sensitive transaction on public WiFi, etc.) you will be fine. iOS is about as secure an operating system as you will find.

iPhones are as secure as you can get. The owner is the most insecure part of the system.

Agreed. Even clicking on ads cannot compromise the data on your phone. It can create annoying (but not dangerous) popups, however.

So true.
