I think this is more of an Apple specific hack to get latency down; boot the cameras up as early as possible.

Can third party apps use this to speed up their use of camera hardware too?

  • I doubt it - Apple has a bad habit of putting in specific behaviors for certain home screen icons in Springboard (consider the clock and calendar icons) which are tied to the app identity but executed by Springboard.
