On the contrary, Apple's track record for collecting data is deliberately obtuse and utilizes dark patterns to make it as difficult as possible to not upload your info to them.

From the article,

the user is given the option to enable Siri, but “enabling” only refers to whether you use Siri's voice control. “Siri collects data in the background from other apps you use, regardless of your choice, unless you understand how to go into the settings and specifically change that,”...“In practice, protecting privacy on an Apple device requires persistent and expert clicking on each app individually"...the steps required are “scattered in different places.”

Apple devices might be arguably more secure than other vendors, but security and privacy are not the same thing.
