Can a (jailbroken OR not) smart phone app access your private info, contacts, sms and sends back to collector?

---

On a stock Android phone, an application can request permission to access all of those items.

On a stock iPhone, an application can access contacts, but not SMS etc.

On a jailbroken iPhone, an application can do whatever it wants.

On android an app can steal your information and send them back but when you install them from market you can see which things the app wants access to.

I don't know about the iPhone.
