      Apple does collect a whole bunch of data from its devices’ users. Pretty much everything you do on it, actually. All of the “turn of data collection” stuff they’ve been advertising only affects third-party data collection — not their own.

        What data? Because if I look at the data points for Apple Advertising, than it is nowhere near the amount Meta or Google are collecting.

        In addition, Apple is very transparent about what they collect, see https://privacy.apple.com to know what they have on file linked to your Apple ID.

        But if you have a source that this is not the whole picture, I’m very interested to learn.
