When the phone was otherwise in a working condition.

The LED should be expected to outlast the rest of the phone by a large margin. That said, given enough units out there, it’s statistically inevitable to get a couple with some issue that die earlier.

I do not take them for granted. everything I use, I use sparingly because I know what it’s like when things burn out & die & need to be replaced which is always an infuriating inconvenience, so to prevent that from ever happening, everything I use, I use exactly as long as I need to and then I turn it off.

No but I did have a flashlight fail me while I was exploring a long abandoned power plant and in a dark room with evidence that someone may have been living in the facility. I only shit my pants a little

If phone manufacturers cheap out, they can fail to handle the heat from continued LED use (e.g. as a flashlight) which can cause premature failure
