      Yes and it’s a constant issue, and there is tons of security stuff in the phone to deal with the mic’s presence. I’ve elsewhere suggested making phones with no mics, so if you want to make a voice phone call you have to use an external mic. At least the phone has an important application that uses the mic.

      The mic in this watch seems to have been added to the hardware just because they could. But as they say, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
