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

Due to Apples walled garden, its going to be difficult to nearly impossible. I know it's not the answer you want to hear but moving to an Android/ pixel system is going to be far, far easier and will produce better results. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that's the reality of the iPhone ecosystem.

As an experienced Android dev and former iOS dev: pushing someone to Google products is not going to improve someone’s privacy. Apple is not “good” in terms of privacy, but Google is much worse. The only real options in that area are MicroG-based Android OS-es, or fully de-googled ones. However, custom ROMs are often not problem-free though. In that case, a Pixel phone is probably still the best option.
