As an iPhone user, what information can Meta get from me using Threads if I were to only view feeds and not post?

You're viewing a single thread.
All of this, scroll down a bit to App Privacy and see that you have none. BTW, the "sensitive info" is racial, sexual and biometric data. Apps themselves are privacy-destroying, always look carefully at the app privacy. Check out the Mastodon app as a contrast, it wants none of your data.
I’m just finding it hard to understand how some of that data is collected/ given access if things are turned off
Permissions to grab the data in your phone. When you authorize the app by installing and agreeing to terms you are giving a green light for it to suck up all the data you have put in the device as well as anything you do ongoing. That means the app tracks your current location, purchases through your phone, contacts list, email accounts, etc, basically anything inputted into your phone the app has access to, except for the walled off stuff that Apple protects, like unique thumbprint or facial recognition ID. About 95% of the stuff in your phone is up for grabs with that app.
