Contacts need to be accessed to display a caller's name when the phone is ringing.
Since it's possible to take a photo with the phone locked, the whole photo database may be accessible.

If you reboot an iOS phone, and then call it without ever entering the passcode before, it will display the phone number but not look it up, because contacts are encrypted. The encryption class here is "locked until first unlock", so they stay unlocked afterwards not to disrupt basic expected user functionality. The whole security design is still much better as many other things stay completely locked.
