@nirbheek One good thing to say about Apple (and actually also Amazon if you do the research but even more Apple): they don't cash you with your privacy nearly as much as other companies do.
That's why I use e.g. iPhone, I feel that I pay with money the whole device, rather than paying part of the device with euros and part with privacy. Also, all infosec researchers I've learned to know use iPhone for this exact reason. For better or worse, iOS-ecosystem is a castle.
If you compare prices of the early 00's GSM phones, the cheapest model iPhone SE is in the price range of phones such as Nokia 3210 when it was released. People often complain why iPhones are so expensive. IMHO, the more appropriate question why Android phones are dirt cheap...
