If we paint privacy as simply black or white, sure. But if there exist shades of grey in privacy than Apple and Facebook are on vastly different sides of the spectrum.

One hands all your data over to the Chinese government if you are Chinese. The other gives your data to Cambridge Analytica. I wouldn't say they're vastly different.
