Is this really a common thing people do? Take nude photos and leave them in the phone? No matter work or personal phone. I am wondering how many percent of people do this?

It's very common. In my experience when I was dating probably 30-40% of women did. I think the risk tradeoffs are worth while. I keep my 2FA token generator on my phone, and the inconvenience of losing that is massive.

I don't know the percent, but it wouldn't surprise me if the answer were "almost all."

For young people (<30) yes. Pretty much everyone. It is normalized because people our age grew up with phones, though I still think its a bad idea.

It’s a thing that happens, but in this case, it’s worse because Apple seems to strongly encourage/insist on merging work and personal accounts. A cautionary tale to remind everyone that work and personal accounts, hardware and software should never merge under any circumstances.

My speculation, given Apple's reputation for paranoia, is so they can more easily access your personal stuff in case they suspect you're a "leaker."

You're assuming narcissism as the main cause, but it could easily be stuff like "that new weird zit that's just propped up that you can't quite self-examine without taking a picture of". Or tracking weight loss. Or anything really. As for "leave them on the phone", again you seem to assume explicit intent, but it's more likely to be a bit like leaving your underwear on the floor for a few hours when not expecting guests because you can't be bothered to tidy up just yet. Then one day a child in the neighbourhood goes missing, SWAT raids your house due to an anonymous tip (likely by the murderer themselves), the press spots your underwear, and next thing you know you're called "The Underwear Killer" in the press.

  > Or anything really. Exactly, it does not have to be full frontal lewd nudity for it to be a personal picture. It might as well be a photo of a bank statement or a chat screenshot. Anything, really.
