    I haven’t seen an ad on any of my devices in like 4+ years, nor have I paid for any monthly subscriptions.

    Say what you’d like about Google and Android, I’m not exactly singing their praises or anything, but I don’t think that’s possible with Apple.

      You can. The subscription services are optional and mostly geared towards lazy bastards like myself. I could manually back my phone up to any Mac or windows machine but I pay for the convenience of iCloud storage instead. The other subscription services are purely entertainment driven (Music, TV+, Arcade, etc.) and not required to have a fully functioning device.

      It is. NextDNS and Brave Browser. I usually am not a fan of Brave but it’s the best browser on iOS

      As an apple user it is definitely possible. I don’t even have a million work-arounds. They’re pretty direct
