Disclaimer: I'm not an alarmist and this post is not intended to be alarming.
I don't mean to start an argument here, but does anyone else sort of see Apple finally conceding to Android-esque philosophies? Bigger screen sizes, more open access to core OS APIs, widgets, and a stronger look at hardware specs? How many widgets are going to request access to the motion co-processor? How many keyboards?
How many permissions are apps going to start "needing"? Is there going to be a stronger push by consumers to have developers list the permissions their apps need access to?
I know Apple historically has strong security when it comes to iOS, but branding aside, these kind of thoughts are part of the reason I avoid Android.
I accept I may be uninformed, but I've been having a hard time finding information that deals with these questions. If this has already been discussed, please feel free to link me.
