Apple doesn't surface the information they collect to third parties. If you are talking about in app advertising tracking, I reset my tracking advertiser ID pretty often too.

And what information does Google surface to third parties besides the tracking ID (which can also be reset easily on Android)?

In the Ad Exchange, Google surfaces the full url, geo, and all browser identifier information under the RTB protocol.

When tracked through apps, Google is equally open. Apple tries its best to combat tracking, but most apps will still do their best to jump through the tracking contention measures.

I'd say, always be vigilant of the apps you install. I often check my http request logs to see my phone activity.
