Everytime I see stuff like this I’m thankful most of my devices (hopefully all one day) either have cameras/microphones that have hardware kill switches (HKS), or can be unplugged from the device
If it has a headphone jack, you can plug in a dummy aux port. I’m convinced that the removal of the headphone jack was to ensure the microphones are always reachable

My phone has a physical cover on the camera. The microphone is a big concern though.

I doubt that the headphone jack shares the same ADC as the internal mic on most devices
