I remember a while back Apple filed a patent that allows concerts to disable iPhones cameras if a certain signal is emitted from the stage. Apple never implemented this, but my pessemistic ass always try to think of worse case scenarios, like being used by government. Do you think this could occur in the future?

    you’ll always be able to root your Android phone and disable it, and jailbroken iPhones probably will easily disable that “feature” too

    That’s only techies like 10% of the population. They just need to control 90% and with the rest they’ll deal in case by case basis.
