Apparently on iOS 11, even the case-sensitive variant of APFS will be normalization-insensitive. Previously it looked like this would only be the case on macOS's case-insensitive APFS variant.
Anyway, it looks like the issues raised in this (April) blog post will not actually apply to iOS 11 or macOS High Sierra.

(I've said this many times in the IETF in the context of NFSv4 and WebDAV and such. Every time I've noticed the subject of stringprep for filesystem protocols come up.) http://cryptonector.com/2010/04/on-unicode-normalization-or-why-normalization-insensitivity-should-be-rule/ http://cryptonector.com/2010/04/on-unicode-normalization-or-...
