A good stack of Apple's ecosystem is fully encrypted, so that Apple can't give anything to the authorities.

For example: Apple Maps retrieves routes in segments, with changing identifiers. Apple can't figure out where you navigated to.

This is laughable. Your icloud data is in the cloud, your imessage (if you choose to backup) is in the cloud, they have the keys, and they give that data to the authorities. And why should apple even BE storing my navigation history on their servers? You can even read their policies for yourself.

Google knows exactly where you have been, how you got there and where you visited and for how long. They use all of this data for their own purposes.

Apple actively tries not to know any of that as much as possible.
