I installed Pocket. It wanted permission Contacts and Calendar. Contacts, I understand for sharing purposes. Calendar? Yeah, fuck off.
Maybe they are bundled together like "read phone status and identity" and Pocket has no way around it. Maybe it is not. As a user, I should not have to worry about that.
Contact and Calendar in no way should be bundled together.
Rumors say Apple removed/hide VLC. Though Apple hasn't removed all the shady gray-zone VLC closed source forks that float around in AppStore with questionable Ads and micropayments. The original VLC is still there for Jailbreak users: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ios.html
They aren't.
For instance on one address book app the website currently shows them asking for: Contacts/Calendar -read your contacts -modify your contacts
While the app on my phone says: Contacts -read your contacts -modify your contacts
According to Android Police an update earlier this month to the Play Store app appears to have separated them again: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/12/06/apk-teardown-play-st...
