Actually, the whole Privacy part is one of the biggest gimmicks Apple has ever pulled.
Sure, it doesn’t allow Meta and Google to not allow data collection, but research indicates Apple continues to collect the same amount of data. In the long run, I’m sure that Apple would also use this data to serve ads in their own way, just that they’ll call it “iAds”, and fanboys would cream their pants

Bullshit - what “research”? Apple is in no way comparable to goddamn Google and Facebook here. Their ad sector is pretty much “display my app in the AppStore search if they search for similar things” and things like that, that only uses the actual search term, and very basic stuff about the user. They can make relatively much money on that, because they artificially own the whole “Apple market”, so they don’t have any competition there. They don’t fingerprint you across the whole internet, that’s for sure.
Before calling Bullshit on people, you could’ve done a simple Web search.

I don’t think Apple is comparable to Google and Meta, yet. Allow them sole ownership of data on the phones, I don’t expect that to hold true in a few years.
