Android Central Question

Okay I've used a lot of Android and iPhones over time - often switching back and forth every few years just out of wanting a change. This time round however I've been using one over the other for the longest period of time and I'm conflicted about switching back over.

I know the main ups and downs, pros and cons of Android versus iOS. My main concern right now is all of the news regarding Google's data harvesting practices. I also had my heart set on the upcoming Oneplus 6T release but I've been finding articles on some of their sketchy practices in the past such as sending IMEI numbers back to servers in China - and alarm bells ringing in general when it comes to using a phone from a Chinese manufacturer and the security risks that are associated with it.

Convince me I have nothing to worry about.

** Please don't start a flame war. I do like Android... **
