Yes - that data is already being collected regardless of which OS you choose; this is at least contained to the creator of your OS, not yet another entity.
Also, iOS being arguably less than Google’s collection and use.
Not if you install a deGoogled OS such as LineageOS, CalyxOS, Iodé or /e/,
Don’t drink the kool-aid. Apple’s reputation for being a privacy-respecting company is entirely fictional and created by Apple’s marketing department. They collect as much data as Google does, make no mistake about it.
And even if they didn’t, I don’t consider “a little less” privacy invasion remotely good enough - especially when it’s my children’s privacy!
We’re talking out of the box solutions; what you’re talking about is custom roms that will be above most people’s skill set and time to do so.
iPhones are a thing because they simply work - that is a much bigger selling point than anything else you and I could suggest.
You have a point there.
