So, if John Evil, CEO of Evil is covering his iPhone cameras, uh... should us peasants do so as well? I've occasionally noticed my mic or camera indicator activate on iOS without me using them and I'm very particular about apps and permissions... I've chocked it up to being a bug from my older OS version...

(No, I don't want to use an iPhone. I'm poor, it was cheap with a phone plan.)
