> Trust Apple and nobody else.

That's a straw man, you've already trusted Apple. The argument is 'trust no one else' which seems like a good idea.

This. If you dont want apple device, compile aosp from head, or use cyanogenmod or something.

Just because I bought one of their devices doesn't mean that I trust them to be the sole owner of the keys to it.

I want to own those keys. I actually don't want to trust anybody but myself if I can help it.
