Looking for an answer more detailed than just switch to pixel and use graphene or calyx.

What are the recommended changes to use in the Settings App to make Apple more secure and private? Should I just use the Safari browser due to all the browsers being the same as they all use WebKit

I’m looking for suggested changes to staying minimal but increasing privacy and security on iPhone

    But you cannot download a VPN app without reveal your real IP address for Apple at least once and wanting or not your will need a iCloud ID. And Apple devices is know that they can bypass VPN connection in some cases. Who ensures you that Apple will not retain your IP address?

      It doesn’t matter. Your IP adresse is dymanic, and your IP adresse alone is basically worthless.

        Yeah IP’s are just a fraction of the whole fingerprint process nowadays but I didn’t want Apple record ANY IP the could be used to link to me. I personally don’t trust Apple.

          If you already fear just to leak one IP adresse, which only can be linked back to you for a limited amount of time than don’t use apple.

        Interesting. Have any resources to learn more about this? Don’t people get caught doing illegal things based on their IP address?

        Let’s say I make a profile on social media that has no personally identifiable data on me. How else would they track me?
