MODERATORS
Apple is a big tech company and no big tech company should be trusted (too much). While I think in terms of their user's privacy they are better than Google, Google at least is pretty vocal about them spying on their users with their actions.
On an iPhone you'll never get completely rid of trackers and stuff even with a jailbreaked device. Imo the best option you have (if you want a phone that respects your privacy) is an Android phone with a degoogled custom ROM that focuses on privacy. Something like Graphene OS, Calyx OS and /e/OS.
Last time In checked Apple privacy practices, their were collecting same kind of stuff than Google.
The major difference is that Apple acts as a proxy between the user and advertiser, where Google let other companies also track the user.
NONE of them can be deemed as privacy-friendly.
