I also just switched away from Android this summer, which I've been using since the very first days of smartphones. I had an iPhone 4S mixed in there for ~6mo when I broke my android and a friend let me have their old iPhone.
Now I'm on the new iPhone SE, entirely because I lost trust in Google. I had been worried about Google for a while, but it all kicked off when a new job last year gave me a MacBook, and I realized that Apple things weren't actually as bad as I thought they were. The laptop was a little more expensive than a comparable linux laptop, but I liked a lot of things about it too.
Ended up cutting out Google entirely, and couldn't be happier. Definitely makes me excited to talk about how I took back my privacy, even though it's still a bit weird paying the "actual cost" of web services rather than getting them for "free".
