i'm not trying to argue with you or refute points you made, but instead to respond them in the context of the OPs question:
so graphene isn't an option and the OP wants to get some control over google maps location sharing, instagram and be able to use their drone app.
ios has straightforward privacy controls that accommodate family sharing with a decent degree of granularity, can limit what applications like instagram can do in a very clear and easy to understand way and as far as i know the DJIFly app works on ios (its in the app store and has 4 stars. i don't use it so i can't speak to it).
One thing is being aware of bad actors on the internet, in that case IOS could be an option, other thing is being aware of the mass surveillance and manipulation across the digital space, and that's the thing we're more worried about in communities like this, in such case, IOS is no better than shooting yourself.
You can't become privacy conscious without sacrificing something, some friend will go away calling you a paranoid, somo products you own will become garbage, that's just normal here.
okay i reread your comment like five times. how, in the context of mass surveillance and manipulation, is ios no better than shooting yourself?
Do you actually trust Apple? Do you really not see it as a honeypot? Are you sure Apple don't track you and respect your privacy as a human being insted of seeing you as a profitable product? Are you out of your mind?
i asked how you could say that in the context of mass surveillance and manipulation ios is no better than shooting yourself.
I get hyperbole, but i don't understand that one.
in answer to all your questions: no, no*, no, no.
