You may not understand that despite loads of QC, beta testings, etc, software bugs still manage to slip through under the right set of conditions and circumstances. Especially with respect to complex software.

I've yet to see 100% perfection. From anyone.

You may totally miss the point.

Accessing a user’s phone’s mic without them interacting/allowing it is so against all iOS conventions and far beyond a simple bug.

Nothing should ever happen on my side of that call if I don’t move that darn slider.

No, not missing the point at all. Software bugs will always slip through, even those that are not simple. Period.
 
I've noticed this for around a year!

I just tested it and could hear my wife talking to my dog. Unreal. This could be a lawsuit in the making..
 
Wouldn't call this serious as it doesn't affect many people, doesn't destroy data, ...

It has the potential to allow someone to call into a confidential meeting and listen in. Most people ignore their phone when it rings if they are busy, not click ignore. That means the caller - let's say an unknown spam caller that everyone just ignores - can listen to what you are saying. This is terrible.
 
The person you are calling still has the someone would like to FaceTime screen, even though no more ringing.


Facetime Video. Haven't tested Audio.
If that person declines or hangs up then it gets disconnected, right?
 
this seems to be fixed in the latest beta. at least if the phone initiating the call has the beta, it doesn't work.

Test engineers should have caught this very easily.
Should have, or at least would have been really good if they did, sure. Easily, let alone very easily, that's very debatable.

Gotta love Apple's integrated approach. Seriously, enough is enough. Fire Tim Cook, fire Jony Ive, fire Craig Federighi. Bring back Scott Forstall. This is what happens when you have a fashion designer run a COMPUTER company.
This is fairly basic reality that doesn't really involve any of those things. (Bugs, including rather bad ones, even happened under Steve Jobs.)
