   Since I have both iOS and Android devices that I use daily,   
   I took a look at how iOS handles things.   
      
   By way of contrast, of those above, these are also controllable on iOS:   
    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15 (which is 10 out of 15)   
   However, these are not available or handled very differently on iOS:   
    6, 7, 8, 10, 14 (which is 5 out of 15)   
      
   Here are the iOS menu paths for the 10 settings we can control:   
   1. Location radio   
      A. Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services   
      
   2. Cellular voice radio   
      A. Settings > Cellular > Cellular Plans > toggle line off   
      
   3. Cellular data radio   
      A. Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data toggle   
      
   4. Bluetooth radio   
      A. Settings > Bluetooth > toggle off   
      
   5. Wi-Fi radio   
      A. Settings > Wi-Fi > toggle off   
      
   9. Precise Location   
      A. Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > select app > Precise   
   Location   
      
   11. Wi-Fi auto-reconnect   
      A. Settings > Wi-Fi > tap network info (i) > Auto-Join toggle   
      
   12. Airplane mode   
      A. Settings > Airplane Mode toggle   
      B. Or Control Center > Airplane icon   
      
   13. Wi-Fi calling   
      A. Settings > Cellular > Wi-Fi Calling toggle   
      
   15. Sensors (restrict app access)   
      A. Settings > Privacy & Security > Motion & Fitness   
      B. Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera   
      C. Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone   
      D. Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network   
      E. Settings > Privacy & Security > Nearby Interactions   
      
   Here is what can be said about settings not directly controllable on iOS:   
      
   6. Wi-Fi scanning   
      A. iOS does not expose a user toggle for background Wi-Fi scanning.   
      B. The system may still scan for networks to improve location accuracy.   
      C. Apple anonymizes and randomizes probe requests to reduce tracking.   
      
   7. Bluetooth scanning   
      A. No separate toggle exists for background Bluetooth scanning.   
      B. Core system features like AirDrop, Handoff, and AirTag may use it.   
      C. Apple limits third-party access and requires user permission.   
      
   8. Google Location Accuracy   
      A. Not applicable on iOS, this is an Android-specific feature.   
      B. Apple uses its own location services, not Google's.   
      C. Some system services can be toggled under Settings > Privacy & Security   
   > Location Services > System Services.   
      
   10. In apps, choose GPS only   
      A. iOS does not allow GPS-only mode.   
      B. Location is always a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, & towers.   
      C. Users can only control per-app access and whether precise   
         or approximate location is shared.   
      
   14. NFC   
      A. NFC is always on for system functions like Apple Pay.   
      B. There is no user-facing toggle to disable NFC entirely.   
      C. 3rd-party apps cannot access NFC without explicit user action.   
   --   
   If someone knows Android, they know something. Same if they know iOS.   
   But if they know both platforms, then that person can make good decisions.
