And rightfully so. Corporations will find every conceivable way to track you and no API will be left unused, including tracking MAC addresses of bluetooth devices around you, which is a relatively easy one.
However, you can absolutely allow an app to access that API so it can scan for those MACs.
Funny thing, as soon as the API is locked down and presented as an option to the user, companies stop using it since nobody wants to give bluetooth access to i.e. Facebook.
That’s actually correct but I assumed they opened up the API afterwards. I used to notice it before because the optical image stabilization would kick in and you could hear the solenoids kick the lens around as you move the phone.
Wouldn’t agree.
You could’ve recorded a 30 minute video with the flashlight on without any issues. They also wouldn’t allow API access to the flashlight hardware for those apps if it was damaging the phones.
Plastic Sony Ericssons and Nokias had flashlights circa 2005 and could shine day and night and every one of those phones had internal power control of the LED (it would shine brighter when taking a photo and be dimmer when used as a flashlight).
Meanwhile metal and glass iPhones with even better heat dissipation didn’t have flashlight as a system feature until iOS 7 in 2013.
I never understood what the fuck was up with that. Most older dumb phones had that feature and even if they deemed it unnecessary, the sheer amount of flashlight apps would prove them wrong

That’s because Microsoft has patented window snapping. Third party apps are still there because they aren’t worth chasing.
