Like Android phones perhaps? Unfortunate Apple gives very little granular control.

Most stock android phones don't either. You usually get to control precise location, notifications, some background activity, SMS, Calls, Mic, Camera, SD Card, etc.

But most ROMs don't allow controls for WiFi, Cell data, Phone ID, Phone number, User ID, local storage, etc...
