Can you read their source-code? Nope. And they falsely advertise their phones as Privacy alternatives when they collect just as much data as Google.
This is different than my understanding of Google and Apple. Could you provide links to sources showing what Apple collects about its users?
From their own privacy policy they outline what they do:
Literally all of this is what Google does. The only thing Apple does differently is hinder 3rd party apps to a greater degree, whereas Google is more permissive. But to be fair, Google has been improving the Privacy features of Android with each version.

You can read their own privacy policy, in which they admit to everything: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww
Ignore their bullshit marketing as for "why" they collect it and when they try to justify it. Look at the facts laid out.
