APPL is one of the biggest software companies in the world, their user base is huge.. they sell on the idea that they are more "private" , but i think that is somewhat of a gimmick. Apple relies on their word and is not open source.
For this reason i do NOT use an iphone or any apple product for said reason. i do NOT think this is a security enhancement, i do NOT think apple's security is less value based on it's lack of transparency.
What i do think is that FOSS is the way to free themself from digital slavery or what is more refereed as the walled garden.
The GrapheneOS argument
My first point is that GrapheneOS is NOT a custom ROM. This is directly from the maintainers of GrapheneOS https://x.com/GrapheneOS/status/1588599635337445377
GrapheneOS Gives true freedom and more control over your device - storage scope limits access to your files - contacts scope limits what apps can have access to your contacts - googleplay sandbox provides stronger security and privacy. - gets on time security updates
Apple and other proprietary software is in my opinion again a forum of digital slavery. i understand the social pressure on people over the color of the text {green vs blue }, but, that doesn't make it any less ridiculous.
APPLE claims to be more private, but also has been proven to be false. https://www.theregister.com/2022/08/19/apple_ios_vpn/ https://proton.me/blog/iphone-privacy
and again you are trusting apple.
Another point i must make out is that apple needs an account to function while grapheneOS does not Apple will hold your hand and disallow you to side load apps due to "security " they have not open their e2e messaging platform for some weird reason (even though i still say use signal) even though it would be a step-up from sms which is not encrypted.
there is a ton of resources so you can transition into the free and open source ecosystem
