iPhone has the better reputation for privacy/security, however it is proprietary software and so no one can really tell for sure what kind of data that Apple might collect on you.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
The same is true for stock Android devices. Unless you are using a custom ROM without Google Play Services, there is more proprietary software than open source running on Android devices.
I chose Apple on that matter. Not that it’s the perfect choice, but it’s for now a "good" compromise. At least they "seem" to be concerned about their customers’ data (encrypted messages, data not sold to advertisers…)
Exactly "seem" they make vision of it only and good marketing.https://sneak.berlin/20201112/your-computer-isnt-yours I would always prefer android for reasons that i can delete a lot stuff using android debug bridge while on ios i can't do anything,more over not talking about root rights to completely delete spyware or block them using firewall.
Graphene OS > iOS > Stock Android
Where is lineage OS in that?
LineageOS doesn't claim to be Degoogled, and it isn't so I think it would be an improvement, but a small one. It would remove the trackers your OEM has built into stock but that's about it. It's still phoning home to Google.
