In safari mobile ios, if an <input type=file...> is set to open the camera, the camera is always opened even if the camera permissions are set to 'Deny Access' or 'Ask Access'.

Camera permissions are only used for navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia, in particular to controll its Deny/Grant prompt.

<input type=file...> requires a user gesture to select a given photo so does not require a specific permission.

This is working as designed.

Resolving using the mildly offensive 'Invalid' category to indicate this is not an implementation bug.
