ZFS will also verify the checksum of each data block, which means that by default it is not a zero-copy filesystem. sendfile(), recvfile(), etc. will all require at least one read pass.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing--in my experience, ZFS has caught on-disk bit rot several times. However, it may not be worth it on an iPhone or other low-power device. Fortunately, it can be disabled.
