I don’t think Apple cares about privacy, I think it’s just a convenient selling point since they don’t have an advertising program. That said, they are less intrusive than Google by a mile.
They make a much larger effort than most tech companies out there. It’s substantially harder for an interested third party to get information from an iPhone user unless they have apps installed that allow for it. I’ve had clients complain about the lack of data they get from apple users compared to android, but there’s still identifiers like location from cell towers or wireless providers that can’t really be avoided.
I do fully expect Apple to buckle on their privacy stances the moment it becomes unprofitable though.
Apple’s business isn’t built around advertising. That’s literally the biggest reason is better to use than any google product.
If you need a level of privacy that goes beyond even Apple’s abstraction of location data, then you’re best off not connecting a smart phone to a car at all, and using offline maps.

Fully agree! Thankfully I don’t need that level of privacy lol
