Upstate1618 Hello, advertising is only present in the appstore application, so I assume you've looked into it?
configure your iPhone to be secure and private
leave it in its box in the Apple store, I know not very constructive, but damn effective...
Locart Personalised ads may also appear in Apple News and Stock.
That seems like a very complicated process, and it is not in any way clear what, if anything, is accomplished by it.
What does this do?
I'm searching for a comparison thread between Graphene security vs apple security...what are some things that make one more secure than the other?
K8y they are likely similar in terms of security
Not at all, Apple devices are far behind Pixels running GrapheneOS

Not according to the GOS development team.
AlanZ yes and they also say that it is second solid choice after GrapheneOS which also means they are not equal. Also iOS consistenly exhibits more critical vulnerabilities compared to recommended Pixels (especially when they run GrapheneOS). Having such development team on your side, with their unprecedently swift actions to mitigating vulnerabilities is an advantage.

The point of supervision is to apply your config profile in step 6. Many options are only applicapble to supervised iPhone.
Graphene1
No, GrapheneOS is superior to iPhone. For example, there're MTE, Sensors permission and 2FA unlock that iPhone does not have.
If you wish privacy, ditch the iPhone, it is the best tracker phone on the market, even when it is power down, it still broadcast to the nearest iPhone with details, location etc back to Apple.
iOS and GrapheneOS are more or less equivalent, both are very good in terms of security and privacy, grapheneos is highly recommended for high threat models, iOS is highly recommended for the Apple ecosystem... I would like to add that no evidence shows that open source is more secure. It's up to everyone to make their choice according to their threat model.
Locart No, iOS is not privacy. Apple apps and iOS gather your data for advertising and diagnostics purposes etc while GOS never do that. GOS is also more secure than iOS because of features like MTE, 2FA unlock etc. iPhone are vulnerable to AFU forensic extraction while GOS are not.

Apple apps and iOS gather your data, as does Android System SafetyCore, and the user can kiss their privacy goodbye. Android System SafetyCore, like Apple SECAM, now reports back to Google with your data, according to various articles. The question is why GOS went to such lengths to hide or mask the app deep within the system under the pretence of Safety, if it is safe, why not give the owner the option to uninstall the Google app. Why did GOS give a false statement about Android System SafetyCore?
AloofChocolate what are you talking about? There is no such thing that comes preinstalled on GrapheneOS.

Upstate1618 3/4 of your answer is wrong. Only the AppStore ios application has an advertising purpose and again... it's just to highlight applications. Other Apple applications have no ads. The MTE is not a security function you misunderstood, it is a memory marker that will send you a beug report in case of a problem. He won't prevent the problem. There is an equivalent on iPhone whose name I no longer remember and which will allow Apple to send you an automatic message if your device is targeted by mercenary software. In addition, MTE is not linked to GrapheneOS but to was implemented by Google. Finally, the iPhone is not vulnerable to a forensic extraction in AFU mode if the lockdown mode is activated.
AloofChocolate You got it backwards, I recommend you stop reading these hot garbage websites. They are straight up wrong, largely parrot each other and their only purpose is to profit of you by advertising their equally terrible services and wasting your time with AI generated text. I have therefore removed the links from your post.
Here's a write-up we did on this topic:

Locart Only the AppStore ios application has an advertising purpose and again...
No, that's not true. Apple News, Apple TV and Stocks have personalized ads according to their privacy policy. I have read all Apple product privacy policy so I'm very sure.
Locart There is an equivalent on iPhone
No, there isn't an equivalent strong feature on iPhone. There may be other not so effective memory safety feature on iPhone.
Locart if your device is targeted by mercenary software
No, MTE is not about whether or not your device is targeted by mercenary software. mercenary software is nothing to do with memory safety bugs.
Locart The MTE is not a security function you misunderstood
I know what MTE is and it is indeed a security feature. It helps devs and users to know memory bugs in OS and apps so they can report and fix them. It also prevents memory bugged code from executing. This is a security feature.
Locart MTE is not linked to GrapheneOS but to was implemented by Google
Stock Pixel does not have it enabled by default. Stock Pixel does not have it enabled for many OS components. I never said MTE is GOS exclusive. I said GOS have this feature while iOS does not.
Locart Finally, the iPhone is not vulnerable to a forensic extraction in AFU mode if the lockdown mode is activated.
No. take a look at pinned post and you can see in Cellebrite doc 7.69.5 iPhone is vulnerable to AFU. Lockdown mode is not listed seperately so it is also affected. There's no evidence that lockdown mode and new fix in iOS 18.3.1 works against Cellebrite.
