Most research I've read points to Apple being not as bad as, or occasionally on par with, Google. Still bad, obviously. But if you don't plan to install a new OS on top of your phone (or at least try fiddling around with app disablers) then Apple probably provides the better option, providing you do try mitigating their default settings.

Would be good to see the study done again in 2025.

So doesn't even say who is worse. Apple could be compressing their data better and collecting the same or more data then Android.

It's doubtful that google doesn't compress the data either.

Apple is definitely wetter, but not by a lot.
