Pretty intense, just another reason how apple is controlling there users.
I mean I would consider this somewhat of a breach of privacy, but I guess in buying the device you are basically signing away your freedom to Apple

Apple patent could remotely disable protesters' phone cameras | ZDNet
I got the idea it could turn off cameras, and whatever else in ALL nearby phones.

If you turn off GPS, Wifi, network signal and can hack camera not to record any EXIF data, how would they even know you were using a camera?
I can turn all this off on the Nexus. Camera is set not to geolocate.

Yeah i suppose if you would already have all your radios disabled...basically in airplane mode then they could not access this feature...
I feel like this would work, i wonder if Apple has a workaround :S

This makes sense and isn't anything new. This is standard in many corporate apps. Some companies, like Boeing, require phones without cameras. Imagine if they could securely disable your cameras for THEIR benefit. You choose your phone, but can't steal any sensitive information.
There are also a TON of corporate sync apps which require the ability to remote wipe your device. This is all standard enterprise content, and doesn't really scare me. Just wait until Android offers these features. It will come.

what you give as examples.. are OK.. because you know and agree too in advance. which is part of the type of career you choose.
what I dont like.. is anyone.. having that ability to do it to me.. when ever they want.
