>Apple's own apps are still blessed with permissions that other apps have to ask for. This needs to be addressed too.

This is a strange position imo. Why would we expect third party apps written by totally unknown people with unknown goals to have the same permissions as apps written by Apple itself?

I thought the appstore was safe because of its vetting, at least that's what they officially say

		I don't think that is contradictory either. By limiting 3rd-party permissions, Apple is able to prevent many potential issues before an application even makes it to the vetting process. The less there is to vet, the more robust the vetting process should be in theory.
