For me that IP belongs to apple, when using the iOS mail client. I presume Apple forces third party apps to use their API and then stuff like this happens. Guess that's also on google, not mitigating that issue, tho.

Have you tried a VPN? I wonder, if Apple manages to expose IP despite a VPN. They had issues with stuff like that before.

That Received header is inserted by smtp.gmail.com (Google), not Apple.
