Sounds like classic poor security UX design -- it encourages people to allow everything, and encourages apps to claim everything.

  I have a lot of issues with iOS, but I think Apple's UX here is clearly superior: it asks you about each individual permission an app requests (not on install, but when the permission is first used), and allows you to deny it.

    Wasn't that almost the same approach with UAC ?

      As usual, Microsoft did it first, but got the UX all wrong. Apple comes along does something very similar, but because of the App Store and the infamous review cycle, can enforce some semblance of control over the app ecosystem. Notice: Apple only does this fairly granular security on iOS, and OSX is much more similar to how Windows it.

      UAC overdid it.
