It doesn't really matter what you choose - you won't get the choice you really want in our world (at least not that fast and it won't be as shiny and exciting as the advertised stuff we can buy already). One should consider smartphones unsafe devices and not trust important data to them. Even most computers aren't really safe devices. With a lot of effort you can minimize risks (e.g. using core/libreboot, full disc encryption, live OSes etc.) but you'll never find a way to absolute security and privacy. The discussion if Android or iOS is safer doesn't really matter that much in my opinion. I choose iOS because of their constraints. The pseudo-freedom Android gave me wasn't enough or that useful that I'd consider using that system again so soon. Also I like the fact that I can use an iDevice for a longer period including new OS- and security- updates. (just my personal opinion without any recommendation)
