Checkbox vs toggle

There's a constant debate on checkbox vs toggle. enter image description here

Personally, as an iPhone and Mac owner, I'm still very confused every time when I see the toggle. I often ask ask myself, "The 'on' is on the left, does that mean I have to slide the light gray from right to left in order to turn it on?" I eventually found out the answer was no. Yet, I still have to mind exercise every time when I see the toggle.

Aside from personal feelings, what are the good arguments for using checkboxes vs toggles?
