Apple has an history of resisting surveillance and that’s true. However, it’s subject to regulations, they lower security in some countries (see UK), it’s based in the US which is definitely not encouraging, and… it may just end becoming like Google in the span of a few years.
That said, I prefer Apple to most of the other brands.
It can be toxic here too. I had my misadventure with a bunch of “experts” absolutely sure that the future is communism and “stupid you brainwashed fool” if you don’t get it.
