Encrypted iPhone backups to a Mac (via Finder or iTunes) include additional sensitive data that unencrypted backups exclude for security. The two data types exclusive to encrypted backups are:
Health data(C): Includes Health app records (e.g., steps, heart rate), requiring encryption due to privacy laws like HIPAA.
Saved passwords(D): Includes Wi-Fi passwords and website credentials stored in Keychain, protected by encryption.
Option A (Device passcode) isn’t backed up; it’s a user-set code, not data.
Option B (Face ID) settings aren’t backed up; biometric data is hardware-bound.
Option E (Wallet) backups include card details only with encryption, but it’s not exclusive—other Wallet data syncs via iCloud.Apple confirms this in "About encrypted backups on your iPhone" (support.apple.com/HT205220).
