But they don't use the same standard permission box that they force 3rd party apps to use.

That's shady....

Because they're Apple and it's their store. Of course they want the box to look fancier :)

Also: There is a HUGE difference (in my opinion) between Apple recommending me other apps based on the ones I already have installed vs Facebook tracking my presence and activity everywhere around the internet.
