I did it a little over a year ago. Many frustrations with Android, switched to the iPhone SE (mainly due to size). Most of the time on android I was running native on Nexus.
Apps are more consistent, and generally better designed. Wider range of apps, far less crap.
Restrictions on background tasks and what apps are allowed to do mean a couple of things I had on Android can't be duplicated on iOS (eg a WiFi signal strength thing - no huge loss)
Apple focus on privacy, along with granular app notification and data restrictions are marvellous, as is the way apps request permissions, and it just works. Apps make less of a land grab as a result. Android was still fundamentally broken in that area when I left.
iOS feels slicker than any version of Android despite clearly having some feature-itis and clumsiness (e.g. timestamps on SMS and iMessage are hidden off screen). Android isn't free of this, but never feels (across multiple versions of Android) like they put much thought into joining it all up apart from joining up data harvesting of course.
Trivia: iTunes is a mess, but it does what you need. iOS still lacks a dark mode that I would really prefer. SE keeps a headphone socket so all is well with the world. :)

This is one of the reasons I also ditched Android for an iPhone.
I had an HTC Hero, an HTC Desire and a Galaxy Nexus before I jumped to the iPhone. I forked out more than I normally would have for a phone when I bought my Galaxy Nexus under the assumption that it would receive regular OS updates being a Nexus device. Nope; stuck on Android 4.3 and was eventually forced to install a glitchy 4.4 custom ROM. There were never any decent ROMs for later Android versions so I gave up on the whole platform.

No intention of going back to Android.
