I disagree. I've had extensive experience with both and ended up settling with IOS because of the "privacy", and longevity. Might have gotten better since my last experiences with android, but I'm still rocking an iPhone 8 which does more than enough for my needs, and my wife is still using an iPhone 6s which they announced will be getting the latest upgrade this year (7 years old now).

I know you can mess around with custom ROMs and all that to get more life out of Android phones, but now that I work full time I just don't really have the patience to be constantly tweaking things to have my phone work pretty well. It's actually kind of weird that I'm in this position because I used to be all about customization and huge into the Jailbreak/Rooting scenes.
