Way to out yourself as an iDevice troll. Shame y'all have the exact same bag of tricks cause we could see that coming from miles away... but that's just what happens when the extent of your understanding of technology relies on something being called 'magical' before you'll use it.
Shame that you don't really care to address Apple's longstanding habit of overcharging for outdated specs as it is especially egregious. Especially when you consider I had an HP Envy 13 laptop that had 3200x1800 resolution, 8GB Ram and 256GB SSD... That sold for under $1000... In 2015. ($849.99.)
I suspect you feel that way because it's easier to know what DOES mine you, free or paid, on Android, than it is on any other mobile OS. Consequentially, it's also easier to block such stuff on Android with custom dns, custom roms, root and a hosts file or using apps to track the trackers like Exodus. So, no, I disagree: You say it's highly limited when trying to avoid those kinds of apps... We have F-Droid and other third party app stores. There's a plethora of FOSS apps that can replace the common garbage data collecting apps out there. People just don't want to make the effort and look a little bit harder elsewhere for what they would feel more comfortable using. That's why we have privacy nightmares: people are lazy.
