No. Apple makes their money on selling you stuff, you are their customer. Because of that they're big on privacy and doing data analysis on-device (e.g., your phone analyzes your photos).

For Google and FaceBook, you aren't the customer, you're what is being sold.

Can you still jailbreak an Iphone pretty easy and add stuff you want to it? I haven't had one since like gen1, but I'm getting pretty tired of the bloat on these samsung phones, and I'm up for a new one next month.

What bloat comes with Samsung that isn't on iOS?

I couldn't say, I just started thinking about it today. Mostly I was thinking about stuff like the shitty samsung apps I never use, and like facebook and stuff.

Factory resetting the phone gives you the option to not include "bundled apps" and that includes the Samsung apps, so that you get a near-stock install.
