LineageOS[0] (and/or other non-Google OS)+F-Droid[1] (and/or other third-party app stores) allow you to avoid Google altogether. Which is nothing new.

Is that possible with IOS to avoid Apple? I think not.

Edit: Clarified my question as to what's possible with IOS.

Fair point. I am glad these projects exist in case I do actually want to avoid Apple at some point.
