> Because Apple requires developers to ask the user for permission in a universal way before it can access such features as an iPhone’s microphone or camera, a user can identify if something shady is going on inside the app.
Does the average user really do this? In my experience they just allow everything, because every permissions pop-up is just a delay to whatever they're trying to do.
