I switched to iPhone about six months ago, after having used Android since it was invented. In both cases you're trusting a large corporation, but Apple's business model is more direct - sell products and services directly to customers while protecting their privacy, vs Google's "the user is the product" approach. Apple seems the lesser of two evils in this regard.
