      I am not ever trusting a proprietary OS, specially when it has been actively advertised as “caring about your privacy”

        It is the advertising of any market differentiator or specifically when it’s for security.

      indeed does seem to be false.

      That’s from 5 years ago. Let’s look what Apple themselves say about that topic:

      Personal Data Apple Collects from You

      Usage Data. Data about your activity on and use of our offerings, such as app launches within our services, including browsing history; search history; product interaction; crash data, performance and other diagnostic data; and other usage data

        this is HIGHLY misleading. The page you linked is for Apple’s global/web properties (hence “within our services”); device-level settings govern app and OS telemetry separately. You can opt out of telemetry on apple devices you own.
