This is a great reason why the iOS permissions model is miles better. It's not perfect, but it's a far more logical and friendly approach than the all-or-nothing approach that Android uses. I hate the Android model. On my Android devices, I've declined many installs that I have happily made on my iOS devices because of overzealous permission requests made by the Android version. Being able to grant those permissions as needed and revoke them without removing the app entirely is awesome and why Google has avoided implementing it in Android to date is beyond me.

Say what ? holy war between of iOS vs Android ? irrelevant! Smartphones are a huge privacy liability whether apple, google or other. facebook is another mega huge privacy liability. Why google avoided implementing sane privacy control in android is obviously because google is even more of a über huge liability privacy. Google basically has a head start of a decade and a reach not even facebook or apple can dream of. Apple makes money by selling overpriced hardware, google makes money by collecting data about you and selling ads, facebook is a website where people give away their privacy who's happy to exist on devices built by apple and google and has no proven business model (robbing advertisers of money only works for so long says history).
