how close was early IOS to Linux?

The tech is similar underneath. It's the "desktop" where the main difference is. I really don't care for iPhones. I have used Android, iPhone and even one Blackberry in my work. I only buy Android for myself, most recently a Google Pixel 10 Pro.

BTW, I'm currently reading a book "Chasing Shadows" by Ronald Deibert, of Citizen Lab. They deal with cell phone security issues. According to him, the supposedly secure Blackberry isn't. The company was actually helping foreign governments spy on users, despite claiming it couldn't be done!
