You don't have granular control over these permissions. You can either accept or refuse, you can't select which ones to grant or not. I think this is a terrible way to do permissions and poor security. I'd like to see true user-level granular permissions down to the level of being able to specify what hosts the app is allowed to connect with (if any).

iOS's permission dialogs are great, but they're not very granular; it's just stuff like "Foo wants to use your camera", "Foo wants access to your calendar", etc. It doesn't ask you about individual files, and the questions are very clear.

But this sort of thing is universally considered a bad idea: https://i.imgur.com/H0uVqFe.jpg

The image you've linked to doesn't really imply that iOS' dialogs are a bad idea because, as you said, Apple's dialogs ask very clear questions. They don't intimidate the user with tech voodoo.

Anecdotally, my tech-adverse friends choose Don't Allow when in doubt.
