An iOS device tracks a lot of what you do, especially if you don't opt out of anything iCloud. But the bulk of the tracking is done by one "evil" corporation, who takes the majority of its money from selling devices. With a normal Android device, you are tracked every step of the way, by apps, by Google, by Samsung and their awful software quality or by random Chinese entities. If you don't spend a lot of time, an iOS device is the lesser evil when it comes to tracking. An iOS device with automatic app updates turned off, no iCloud, and where you say no to most apps asking for permissions on first run, is pretty locked down. There are downsides, of course. It's kind of sad that you can't buy a mobile device which is just a network node by default, not a spying machine by default.
