The fact that none of the Apple apps have privacy labels for users to see if extremely annoying.

I can go to AppStore and see what data each app uses or read user reviews but there's no way to do that for any Apple apps for some reason.

That's simply untrue. I opened the App Store on my iPhone, searched for Maps, tapped the Apple Maps item, scrolled down, and there's its privacy scorecard. I did the same for Messages, Mail, Photos, and Phone. All of them show up in the App Store with user reviews and the privacy section that all other apps have.

I'm not trying to be an Apple defender here. I don't work for them. They don't pay me. It's just that the things you and the person above you said are factually, demonstrably wrong. Not like "well, that's a difference of opinion" wrong, but like "takes a few seconds to disprove, complete with screenshots": https://imgur.com/a/3S03PtW
