I switched (back) from Android to iPhone because of security settings. I found Android to be a nightmare. Compared that to iOS's ability to set per-application permissions and Apple's stated commitment to privacy and I'm not going back to Android any time soon. Nor will I be upgrading my iPhone any time soon. I plug in the headphone jack in my car and have found no decent bluetooth receivers to replace that wired connection.

Android has had per application permissions similar to iOS since 6.0. It took way too long but it's no longer a problem.

  Can you restrict an application's permission at a granular level. For example can you deny an app your GPS location while allowing it to access your contacts?

    Yes, that capability was restored in Android Nougat. For example, see these Chrome permissions: http://i.imgur.com/D4jYrjP.png http://i.imgur.com/D4jYrjP.png
