Apple was talking adding kill switches? I feel like the cost compared to how many people would actually use it would be a big factor but there's also a multitude of other things that would go along with that like how it would effect water resistance.
Do you mean with encryption or if they wanted to send information away maliciously?
I'm not sure, tbh. You never know with any phone companies, not just Apple. That's why I'd like to know if anyone checks.
I imagine most mainstream devices are torn down and inspected by reviewers at some point. I'd be significantly more concerned about the OS versus some 1950s style wiretap in your cellphone.
It's not a wiretap, it's a camera.
I feel like we are going in circles here. My point was you should be more concerned about your OS than a physical addition to a device. Especially if it's a widely purchased consumer device.
