I agree with you. Strictly comparing IOS to android, I would say IOS is more secure. Apple is in a position where they are incentivized to give you a secure and private product. They make money off of hardware sales, not ads (They are trying to increase their revenue from services though). They are incentivized to do as much processing on your phone as they can, because it saves server costs. Examples of this would be the facial matching in the camera app (IOS done on phone, android done at Google) and TTS of voicemail (only sent to Apple if you tell it to). There are still dangers though. Apple still has control of your phone through things like updates and the ability to place in a backdoor if they are legally forced to. As far as I know, they have a good reputation though (see San Bernardino iPhone case).
