They collect all your web browsing traffic and concentrate it through their servers

They collect and store all your passwords for Websites, WiFi at your home, and all your apps

They want to collect all your email, so they have "Private Email addresses"

The Wallet app

The Health app

The Home App

Video cameras and audio recordings

Your phone remains findable after it's been powered off
