Switching to Apple doesn't really seem like a good way to move towards being more privacy conscious. Even if you don't mind the walled garden and lack of control of your own device (you should if you really want to care about privacy), recent revelations like silently granting special permissions to Uber app should remove any remaining appeal there may have been in them.

I'm not looking to build the fort knox of phones or anything, I'm trying to take the path of least resistance to having a more private, secure device.

I'd rather have a phone/OS built by a company whose primary source of revenue is not user data.

From my, admittedly limited, understanding of the issues between iOS and Android it seems like iOS is more secure/privacy oriented with some obvious caveats like the Uber app issue you mentioned.

All I'm saying is that you'll just be under a delusion. False sense of security is way worse than no security at all.

If you really want/need to stick to the big two systems, some AOSP build with microG is way better option that iOS, where you can do almost nothing to actually get your privacy back into your own hands.

If that's your only reason for changing, Samsung's Knox suite is considered to be highly secure, and is permitted for DoD use et cetera.
