https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2024/07/18/apple-issues-new-google-chrome-warning-for-14-billion-iphone-users/

"We all know relationships can be complicated, but few are quite as
complicated as the one between Apple and Google. Cue Apple's creepy new
attack ad on Google with a clear message for its 1.4 billion users:
*stop using Chrome on your iPhone*."

That's kind of funny marketing from a company with no R&D to speak of
(where nobody spends less in R&D nor more in advertising than Apple does).

Given you can't even run the privacy oriented Tor browser on iOS, nor can
you run Ungoogled Chromium, it's kind of funny how beautifully Apple ads
lie to Apple's incredibly gullible (yet technically ignorant) customers.

"Can I run Tor Browser on an iOS device? Apple requires all
browsers on iOS to use something called Webkit,
which prevents any iOS browser from having the same privacy
protections as Tor Browser."

One of the first things I do with a new Android is uninstall Chrome.
To replace it on Android, I prefer Bromite to Ungoogled Chromium.
Can't the iPhone users just install Bromite or Ungoogled Chromium too?

And iPhones also allow you to use iCloud Private Relay, so...

'Tor is significantly better [than using a proxy], encrypting your
traffic and routing it through multiple randomly selected relays to
conceal your IP. But various Tor weaknesses - including slower speeds -
and attack vectors have appeared over the years, and headlines like '25%
of the Tor network’s exit capacity has been attacking Tor users' suggest
you really shouldn't trust it entirely. We'd still rate it 5/10.

....

Private Relay is (mostly) Safari only, but it does a great job of hiding
your IP, and as no one entity knows who you are or what you're doing,
there's no way for anyone to connect your account to any internet
action. As our rating is about privacy more than features, we have to
edge Private Relay in front with a score of 8/10. (Yes, VPNs can protect
all your devices, but if they're all vulnerable to logging, that's not a
big privacy plus.)'
