At the end of the day people can say whatever about whichever phones they carry but I do not see Android phones on the news in regards to such matters, whereas, iPhone's app privacy issue has been shown here in the UK for the past 2 days.

Apple is apparently in hot water following the recent scandal exposing iPhone apps' ability to access contact lists and copy address book details without users knowing it.
Two members of the US Congress wrote a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook demanding him to clarify the situation, that seemingly violates consumers' rights in relation to privacy.
The letter raises questions about Apple's ethical policies suggesting that "there's a quiet understanding among many iOS app developers that it is acceptable to send a user's entire address book, without their permission, to remote servers and then store it for future reference. It's common practice, and many companies likely have your address book stored in their database."
Apple officials are asked to clearly describe their iOS app guidelines related to privacy and data security.
In addition, the two US congressmen ask for specific details about app verification process and how many apps available in the iTunes transmit "data about the user."

since iOS is so closed, it does not allow any security software to be added in or tracking to be disabled and such. unless apple decides to open up iOS, it will become a niche product much like the mac in a few years
