Apple has an ad platform. Do they use this?

  Apple's ad platform does not track users or their behavior.

    Lol yes they do: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/apple-advertising/ https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/apple-advertisin... Here are a couple: Apple News and Stocks: The topics and categories of the stories you read and the publications you follow, subscribe to, or turn on notifications from. Advertising: Your interactions with ads delivered by Apple’s advertising platform.

    They do and unlike a browser you have no control over it

      If this were the case, it would be a huge lawsuit, given they state the opposite: You can turn off Personalized Ads on your iOS or iPadOS device by going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Apple Advertising and tapping to turn off Personalized Ads. On Mac, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Privacy, click Apple Advertising, and deselect Personalized Ads. The Personalized Ads option may be unavailable if you are a minor, have a managed account, or are in a location where Apple does not deliver advertising to its apps.

        That's up to you to believe that yeah (also the wording isn't very clear on what is still included either), I prefer just cutting off the data.

    The be precise: Apple’s advertising platform does not track you, meaning that it does not link user or device data collected from our apps with user or device data collected from third parties for targeted advertising or advertising measurement purposes, and does not share user or device data with data brokers.

  They don’t need to do this if they’re routing all your traffic through their servers
