Not really...
- Can iPhone allow disabling of core services? No - but I've installed https://grapheneos.org/ and run not a single Google service
- Can iPhone allow full private DNS of your choosing? No
- Can iPhone run a full non-Safari browser, such as Firefox? No
- Can iPhone support adblocking extensions within browsers? No
- Can iPhone support something like SyncThing so you can achieve backup of photos to a place of your own choosing, without having to use Apple Photos or Google Photos? No
- Can iPhone fully support an always on Wireguard VPN? Not really, it's not fully exclusively "VPN or nothing" and when on it breaks any private DNS (even the Apple one)
- Does Apple consider you to have privacy? No (recent court cases have fully stated that "no reasonable user would ever expect that Apple couldn't access all of their data... meaning there isn't end-to-end encryption, only on device encryption)
I'm a total nerd, security and privacy are extremely high... and Android via something like GrapheneOS is absolutely private.

Seriously though, is nextdns not fully private? It definitely blocks ads for me across apps and and browsers.

You can also get adblocking extensions for safari.

NextDNS is fully private.

However Apple did a thing where, if the privatedns was not reachable, it would fallback on their DNS and thus it was leaky.

The failure mode should be "nothing works"... but their failure mode is towards user convenience "it still works"... but at the cost of privacy.

If they've improved this, good. At the time I checked it was shitty.
