If uBlock is the only thing holding you back from an iPhone, you can use the Orion browser, which can install many Chrome extensions (including uBlock Origin)

how do we know the orion browser isn't somehow spying on you? I want an opensource browser, that's where I do so much financial and other transactions (as well as like bank company apps).

That browser should be something like a fully opensource de-googled chrome browser, but it doesn't seem to exist on mobile.

1. It is a zero telemetry browser

2. It is a browser with a users paying for it business model

These mean that it is easy to verify any 'spying', and that there is no incentive to do that.

You're not going to see that on an iPhone. Apple doesn't really allow competing browsers. Even Chrome for iPhones is just reskinned Safari.
