How much of the ad targeting is data collected from only Safari versus other apps (including Apple Apps and non-Apple)?

If it is just Safari, then the ad targeting is similar to other ad-enabled browsers (simply stop using Safari). However, if Apple is using data from maps, messages, photos, device scanning, etc, then that is much, much, much worse.
