Connect any iPhone to something that monitors traffic — for example, a DNS service such as AdGuard DNS or Control D. You will notice that your iPhone makes more outbound connections than Microsoft Windows 11.
Anytime an Apple user tells me that Apple is better for privacy, I can’t help but roll my eyes and think about how they’ve been tricked into believing that.

@Linux oh yeah it crazily talks to their servers a lot. Like Microsoft you also can’t blanket block it if you want your system to work. That said I see more “filtered “ Microsoft ones in my AdGuard than Apple. Whether that’s better intertwining by them or just more things turned off for my phone I don’t know. But it is a valid question if it so privacy oriented…why so many calls home?
