There are a number of ways to do it, other than a sliding latch, in case Apple wants to avoid adding thickness to the screen.
1. Electrically blurred glass.
2. Polarizing filters
3. Power kill switch, in hardware. But I guess Applw will balk at this too.
- rubber_duck 6y agoA peace of plastic in front of the camera is really simple to understand and trust - the rest you need to know about tech and trust someone did it correctly.

- pfranz 6y agoI'm pretty confident after the 2008 camera exploit they engineered the camera to wire the active light directly to the camera power source, which I think is what you're talking about with #3. #1 and #2 seem kind of irrelevant to me. Unless it manually operated (in that case, why not use a physical switch?) it behaves the same as the green indicator light, relies on #3, and after its turned on it's already capturing.
