iOS is very good about sandboxing and only letting apps run things while the app is open and focused on. It shows green and orange dots when the camera or mic is being used, and none of my use them without saying so and they only do so when they actually need them. If that is the case, are there any potential privacy issues with it?

looking for "privacy issues" in iOS is like wondering if the sandwich you found in the sewer has healthy and organic salami, as if that's the only issue preventing you from eating it.

you're being spied on from the moment you activate it, including when it's "off", so does it matter if there are seven or actually nine things invading your privacy?
