For protest related OPSEC, it seems off topic but you might want to check out The Protesters' Guide to Smartphone Security , especially the comments, its lengthy but please do read them.

Back to topic, I think OP needs to sit down and review their threat model, for most people, even many journalists, iPhone is perfectly fine. The problem usually is not on the hardware, but OPSEC.
