Proton and Wire didn't share any decrypted ciphertexts, Wire shared a ProtonMail address and Proton an iCloud Address that they had set as a recovery method.

Personal info like where they live came from Apple.

I know wire and proton are encrypted. Apple services certainly aren't though.

They didn't require any encrypted data. Apple has your name and payment details unencrypted, as they need them to charge you.

Most Apple services can be encrypted including iCloud. Basically email and calendaring are not covered.
