There is no spying on an iPhone unless you turn on services that do that. Apple never “sells” your data, which Google does all the time because that is their business model. Apple sells phones with the promise of maintaining the users privacy, if the user wants that. Apple has gone to court against the US government to maintain this promise.
I don’t know much about IPhones, all I know is he was demonstrating using both android and Apple devices.
There is also plenty of evidence showing apple unlocked phones for police without a warrant or outright pulled data off a phone for them.
Apple is only marginally better than android in this department.
