I’m a proud Apple device owner, just brought the iPhone 14 and some Airpods. Reducing my saving goals for this year but increasing productivity. I now have Macbook Air, iPhone SE (will sell soon), iPhone 14, Apple Watch SE, Airpods, Airpod Pro’s and recently brought an Apple mini speaker 
Anyone considering starting on Apple products it’ll be the best decision you make but probably the most expensive as they keep you a loyal customer haha.

Again, compare it to Android. Even the Google pixel has been found to send about 20x as much data back to Google as an iPhone (https://techxplore.com/news/2021-03-ios-android-apple-google.html).
iPhones also are guaranteed to have encryption for files and such, and iMessages are encrypted without going through Apple servers (RCS has encryption, but only because it goes through Google servers).
