While Apple made a laudable effort in this design, sadly it requires thoughtful care and design at every iteration. Typically the iPhone team couldn't pull it off and the only official claim is for macbooks.

I think it's simpler to assume that most devices can be hacked and the LED indicator isn't infailable than to always keep in mind which device lines are supposed to be safe and which ones aren't.

Apparently it was purely in software on iPhone/iPad. However, starting with the iPhone 16 and M4 iPad Pro, the LED indicator is rendered by a separate secure exclave:

That is purely in software.
