Well, of course not. First of all, iPhones don't have unlock patterns. Which greatly diminishes the usefulness of this approach. Also, I don't believe iOS would allow continuous use of microphone and speaker when the screen is off. And it is incredibly hard to sideload applications on unsuspecting users.

- jrockway 8y agoI make phone calls from time to time with my iPhone. The screen is off but the microphone and speaker are enabled.
