The title is wrong. Most, if not all new phones have forced encryption. Macs have forced encryption (I think can be disabled, but it's encrypted by default).

Windows shows how crap software can lose you data.

this Encryption should be under good design circumstances, transparent. I'd wager that almost all apple operating system users have little to no idea everything is locally encrypted.
