What makes you believe Apple sells their customer’s data?

Facts? I mean we have.

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2018/03/apple-privacy... Campaign targets Apple over privacy betrayal for Chinese iCloud ...

Apple gave up their user data in China so they could make a buck and Google instead chose to leave China instead of giving up the data to make a buck.

Apple it is more data and more money made and therefore believe the largest selling data example we have had in my lifetime? Do you know any examples that are bigger?

This is also actually giving the data instead of targeting an ad.

Closed source, with many anti-user mechanisms. It's extraordinarily hard to investigate what your mobile device is doing at any time. One would require a Stingray and networking analysis gear to determine whom the packets are meant for - and even that is defeated with Pinned certs.

Primarily, the onus is on them to show that they do not have contractual allowances to sell data to internal or 3rd parties.
