Looking for an answer more detailed than just switch to pixel and use graphene or calyx.
What are the recommended changes to use in the Settings App to make Apple more secure and private? Should I just use the Safari browser due to all the browsers being the same as they all use WebKit
I’m looking for suggested changes to staying minimal but increasing privacy and security on iPhone

Step 1: don’t use iCloud services; use WiFi Sync with a computer for syncing and backups. Step 2: turn on Lockdown Mode if this works for you. Step 3: limit the number of apps you install. Step 4: set up VPN to your own network and run a PiHole or similar to filter access.
For most people, this is more than enough guidance.
wifi sync?

Plug in an iPhone to a Mac (or Linux or Windows with third party sync software) and you can set up Wifi syncing. Then as long as the two devices are on the same network, full encrypted backups and file/media syncing will be done.
Any tutorial on this for linux?

But you cannot download a VPN app without reveal your real IP address for Apple at least once and wanting or not your will need a iCloud ID. And Apple devices is know that they can bypass VPN connection in some cases. Who ensures you that Apple will not retain your IP address?
