-iOS
Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

@MacNCheezus I'm not denying this, just figured I'd bring up that there's a lot that can go towards failing you, privacy-wise.
Apple has it's own host of problems (third-party repair lockouts being high on the list of them when I think about it) but if privacy is the primary concern they seem pretty good.
Sure, the OS is closed source and so is the review process, you kinda have to trust them to actually do what they promise. For everyday normal life stuff, it's likely safe enough though. Obviously, if you're a spy or a whistleblower operating in some high stakes scenarios, you'll probably want something else, but you also probably don't want Android unless it's been seriously hardened (i.e. something like Graphene).
