Apple should neither lift nor prevent this.
whether an app has or hasn’t continuous access to BT should be a matter a user decides the same way user decide over location settings, access to  microphone an camera, etc.

Apple is too restrictive, not towards app programmers, but in terms of giving users ultimate say over access to their data.

The constant talk about “tele” lens is laughable.
Also, these lenses don’t have the focal lengths indicated, but a viewing angle equivalent to a lens with the focal length relative to a full frame 35mm film photo cameras, or equivalent digital camera.

50mm is a standard lens, 26mm is wide, 13mm is ultra-wide.
A portrait-tele would be 70-85mm, a standard tele is 100mm and up, with long tele being 300mm and up, ultra-tele being in the 1200mm and up range.

50mm is the range that most closely resembles the perspective of what we normally experience with our own eyes, which is also why it’s called standard.

i(Pad)OS has a long way to go for any serious work.
e.g. can’t inspect/edit e-mail addresses when composing e-mail, and one has to be extremely careful not to use the wrong e-mail addresses, since autocomplete easily picks the wrong one.

Text selection, copy/paste are a PITA

These are just examples, but in essence i*OS devices remain information consumption devices like TVs, not content creation devices like computers.

It isn’t true, that one must go through Photos.app.
There has been for ages an alternative: Image Capture.app, which allows importing images from iPhones or external media into whatever folder desired.

WiFi access doesn’t buy much, particularly if you use the router to limit which MAC addresses are allowed access.

At least where I’m at, I consider WiFi almost equivalent to the public internet, security must be enforced at the individual device level (NAS, computer, printers, etc.)

If someone having access to the WiFi password creates more of an issue than stolen bandwidth, you have much bigger security issues than these bulbs.
