That is a hasty oversimplification. Apple stands to make money selling your personal data just like Facebook and Google. And, were it true that Apple makes money only selling hardware, it would not feel the need to purposely confuse an iPhone user into being tracked by using dirty language tricks.

Apple may make some minuscule amount. Facebook and Google cannot survive without selling your personal data. It is beyond ethics, it is their entire business plan. If it makes you feel better to believe Apple is just as bad with your data go ahead.
