I also think that Apple design and quality has plummeted. However: Android is a Google product. Google makes their money selling data on me. Apple makes money on hardware. It's an easy choice.

You really think Apple isn't selling your data?

YMMV writ large.

I've got an iPhone 5, works just fine for what I need it to do, take pictures and video, notes, basic smart phone stuff, be a phone.

I don't need any fancy bells and whistles. I've learned fancy bells and whistles come with their own costs, like, they're annoying after a while. In fact I've got a backup phone of the same model and I'm considering getting a few more, just in case.

Well, not so far. Perhaps that will change.
