Not that I personally would ever switch to iPhone because there is still a lack of sideloading open source software; but could you just not use the chat gpt integration?
It seems they are actually trying to not data harvest with all the AI stuff, there is quite a focus on privacy respecting server architecture and clearly defined conformations for the user for when something runs off device, or even off of Apple’s cloud (e.g. Chat GPT). I believe they even made their backend third party verifyable (although I’ve only seen their claims about this, I haven’t actually followed up).
Anyway, plenty of reasons to dislike apple, I’m sure they still collect data, but why not just ignore the Chat GPT functionality?
my fear is that openai is analyzing everything you do on the phone, not so much the chatbot. but then again i bet apple and google are already doing exactly that. all the forced AI stuff just irritates me like hell. and i live in EU area so sideloading is possible. i haven’t looked much into how much open source apps are available though.

You can sideload on iPhones.
Otherwise a shockingly level handed suggestion and ask.
