Newsflash- iOS is global with well over 1.5 BILLION active devices in the world. And the choice isn't between Amazon and Google, though Amazon pales in comparison to Google's databases, but rather Google and Apple! It isn't, as you claim, impossible to avoid that data harvesting. You can avoid much, not all, simply by not using Google products, along with using a tracker blocker, etc., on web searches. Remember, it's not each single bit of discreet data, but rather the accumulation and linkage of all of your personal data by Google into a virtual dossier on you and your family that you should be concerned about. Fortunately, Apple provides an alternative to Google's massive harvesting of every photo, every web search and click, every document, everywhere you go, every email, etc., all being amassed on you and your family.
