I recently switched to iOS for this reason. Yes there are permissions - but Android still periodically activated location services despite my settings. Googles insistence on capturing as much data as possible about me is just creepy. I disabled voice search, location history, and everything else I could. Switching to DuckDuckGo made a big difference, but still the data gets swallowed up. I know that Apple is only slightly better - but I’ll take whatever privacy I can get.

It was said in another thread, Apple's financial interests align better with their users -- Google keep insisting on stalking their own users. I'm so happy I don't have a Gmail account.

Apple doesn't even give you the option of disabling its AGPS implementation, so in that respect, you are worse off.
