I think Google is redoing the whole permission system in Android M. Reportedly, instead of the approve everything once at install time model, they're moving to the iOS way of default minimum permissions and asking the user at use-time to approve additional things.

- tdkl 11y agoThat's not what I'm implying. But suggesting that user should suck it up because something is coming in 6-12 months if he's lucky is not a valid excuse, because he can take his money NOW elsewhere. As an ex Android user of 5 years, I just got tired of this "coming soon" attitude.
