I like the screenshot in this post about the permissions Android apps ask for. At least this matches my experience. Android apps by and large just ask for everything so it's a choice between giving them everything or not being able to use them. Apple OTOH does two major things different: 1. Apple's approach is to ask for individual permissions it needs when it first needs them. I can't overstate how much better this is than the Android all-or-nothing permission dialog. 2. Apple's permissions make more sense to users. Things like: - Your location - Run in background - Your contacts - Your photos - The camera Android's permissions always struck me as what engineers would do if they designed a permission system. > Because, as it turns out, a Libertarian free-for-all doesn’t work. TRUE. Big true. Honestly though I don't really see the author's point. I don't see iOS 14 and whatever the next Android version is to be back to what Symbian did.
