Good for Apple on all counts. Now if they could just add a physical hardware mute switch to cut off the microphone like putting a post-it note over the lens blocks the camera. A software switch can be bypassed with other software, but a millimeter gap in the microphone line is hard to sneakily reconnect.

True, true. I would upgrade both PC and phone if this feature was available.

No need for post-its, these stick-on lens covers work great, has a slider to cover the lens or to uncover it. I bought several for a couple bucks total, shop around. Search eBay for
