Not mentioned in the headline: When the user is _not_ logged in, iOS collects "location" whereas Android does not.
I am actually a little surprised that iOS would gather this information. What use would it serve?

Find My Phone? It is a choice to enroll in this, and it’s mighty convenient when you lose or get your phone stolen.

Presumably it could wait until someone actually asks for the phone's location in that case. No need to report the location if no one's asked for it.
