The security features I was speaking about primarily rest in the Apps. I know that the latest iPhone has joined Android in letting the devils in; I am hoping that by switching over to an iPhone 5s, I will still be able to take advantage of higher security features and vetting processes than Android. It's got to be better than the Android Flashlight app.
Choosing an entire system based on one app is a bit silly. You as the individual are allowed the freedom to choose any app that you want. Yes, this can be at your determent if you don't read the permissions of said app as you install. Android is the Liberty of phone systems and we all know that Liberty isn't for everyone. Personally, I'll take the freedom and I'll take an extra second or two when installing an app to make sure that a flashlight app doesn't want permission to access my contacts, browser history, clipboard, GPS location & call log to activate the LED. Seems like that should be common sense, no? I think it's silly that Apple has tried (in vain) to make it seem like Android is just a walking security breach but it's not. Funny how they slander and then when they can no longer slander they join them and claim to have pioneered whatever it is, patent it and then market it. The fanbois just gobble it up every time though.
