I agree that the look and feel is different from checkbox but all the
differences seem to be purely presentational. If you disagree, you need to
elaborate a bit more.
Interestingly, Microsoft's Windows Store apps guidelines disagree. I

There is certainly a semantic difference between switches and checkboxes. As
much of a difference as between buttons and links.
A checkbox is part of a checklist, something you use to indicate or track the

From the usability and accessibility point of view, this seems to
address an important issue. Authors sometimes use checkboxes (or radio
buttons) so that changing their state has an immediate effect, even
submitting a form. This may violate

A checkbox represents an input with
binary state. As I understand it, whether the input is immediate or
takes effect only on some kind of submission is defined by context -

iPhone OS introduced the switch control (http://i.imgur.com/TA79fo2.png)

You can choose to slide the switch or click it in most OS implementations, so
even the behavior is different from a checkbox.
