Too bad "Ingredients" labels like they have on food are impractical in the App space. But maybe Apple could highlight key APIs and net connections that it finds in use during app review. Something like, "WARNING: This app makes silent, background connections to [Google, Facebook, etc etc]"

Like In App Purchase warnings, but for background net connections.

I really like this idea, and while it seems like it would be a bit difficult for Apple to implement and the common consumer to understand, it would still further their goal of providing privacy to their users. Plus it would help consumers decide what services they want to give their information and analytics data to, which is pretty powerful.

This is a fabulous idea - and with the review process requires, I don't see this being unreasonable.

Developers will hate it, but I think Apple can take the hit. Google, too, but their review process is something of a joke.
