I know iMessage is E2E encrypted, and I wonder if that extends to the content shown within a push notification. Maybe the push notification servers receive the content encrypted, pushes it to the device, and then decrypted on-device?

Why on earth would you _still_ believe that iMessage is E2E encrypted? Even if it was _today_, _nothing_ prevents Apple from silently pushing an update that simply does not encrypt _your_ messages. And even if you trusted Apple on their word, they could still be sent a security letter (like here) from _some_ government forcing them to do it, and forcing them to be silent about it.

  Not to mention that all apps on iPhones are compulsorily encrypted, so there's no chance to know what any of them is really doing

  Simply put, sunk cost fallacy. Apple marketing has completely inundated and exhausted consumers by front-running a BS privacy narrative, to an extent such that users of their products lack even the vocabulary to meaningfully reason about and discuss what privacy is and is not; instead opining an opaque, closed source platform could defend their individual interests from asymmetrically powerful forces at all.
