Contrary to Apply making products harder to repair, efficiently locking in to their ecosystem with no way out? Apple ducks consumers every day. I doubt they'd gather all your data for the purpose of utilizing storage space.

I'd rather trust the devil I know than the devil that's better at hiding it's evil. Apple isn't some amazing perfect company that cares about you. Almost everything they do is anti-user, they just do it in a way that apple-only users think is a bonus because they've been forced into apple only products already. Not to mention their idiotic pricing.

If you think apple is somehow "trustworthy" or not just as "evil" as Google in any way you've let their marketing team fool you.

assuming this is true, for me it's not what they do with the data it's just them collecting and keeping data they don't need.

Yeah but if that's the price of not being tracked means, I happily say goodbye to android auto. I'm using lineageOS for years and I didn't notice much missing except Google pay and android auto.

When on iPhone, Apple still tracks you when your privacy settings should've disable it.

Bank apps are a very big one but I really don't care I'm not giving in
