"Remove Apple Analytics data from my phone: There was a post a few years ago that recommended backing up to a PC and it would be removed. It wasn't. A fan boy said something about Google and the conversation ended. No solution though. How do I get Apple's spy data off of the phone I purchased?"

Restore to Factory Settings:
Set this Up Anew. If you are so concerned, then reset your iPhone, as if you were to sell it. Perform as interacted here, including the backup: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Backing Up Items:
Note that all downloads would be lost. So, make a note of Apps that were downloaded. Also, enable items in iCloud, so that all is backed up. As an example, here is how to backup Contacts...
I. Enable Contacts in iCloud Settings:
Is Contacts enabled in iCloud Settings? If not, then enable it, and see if it pops up. If so, then it is gone amongst all devices associated to your Apple ID. So, to enable it:
A. Enabling on an iPhone:
Enable Contacts in iCloud:
- Go to: Settings
- Tap: your name (top item)
- Tap: iCloud
- Tap: Contacts (so that it is green)
and...
B. Enable on a Mac:
Is Contacts enabled in Apple ID on your Mac? If not, enable it.
