They recently added a systematic scan, compare and report routine to all your pictures.
They forces you to tie your phone to an Apple account just to use it. My android phone doesn't have an account, or even an email linked to it.
Apple now has an entire mesh network of BT devices constantly looking up each others, even if some of them are not connected to internet.
The microphone on the Apple device is always on, to answer to hey siri.
Finally, you can't install a real alternative browser on iOS, so no real privacy addons.
They make big claims about privacy nobody can check because everything is closed source. So you have to just trust them.
"But apple doesn't have an ad business"
Oh but they do. And they don't have to play by their own rules in the app store, and have the right to track users, gather device informations, location, etc. Fun thing is, they start the list of information they collect (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/apple-advertisin...) by stating "Apple-delivered advertising helps people discover apps, products, and services while respecting user privacy".
I don't think they are any better, just different. And better at PR.
