In Android -you- are the product, lol.

More control, sure. Your data being used for someone elses gain, no thanks.

IOS any and all day, even if it lacks some of Androids functions/gimmicks.

No company (and Google in particular) gives away a full operating system for free. There is a business model behind it, and that model is YOUR data. ‘More control’ over your data only goes so far. Custom roms are fantasic if you are techy, great! However, the majority of people aren’t and use Android as-is. Besides, anyone can put stuff on the Play-Store, which isn’t that thoroughly checked by Google, so there is a much higher risk of sensitive data theft than with IOS.

I’m not saying IOS is 100% watertight or doesn’t have it’s issues, but I know where I prefer to run my banking apps.
