Does turning on Iphone restrictions protect you from hackers?

[RussellMania]

I already have my Iphone protected with a 12 digit passcode and have it set to wipe everything after 10 failed attempts. I have read that people turn on restrictions so parents can have more perental control over their kids phone; This is why Apple added the restrictions passcode in the first place. I have restrictions turned on hoping that it will stop hackers from hacking my Iphone camera and mic, along with denying changes to what apps can and cannot connect using a celluar network.

Hi Russell,

When an app is installed, it only requires generic permissions.
If it requires more permissions, you will be prompted to allow them.

Hackers have ways of getting around permissions; If a hacker is able to exploit a flaw in the IOS, would ristricting the camera with a passcode stop a hacker. Snowden said that hackers can hack any Iphone or Ipad camera

Hi Russell,

If the permission system is bypassed, I think setting a password is useless.
