Original Title: Apple care agent just told me a green dot at top of screen is now normal for my iPhone 16Pro. Can this be true.

Are you referring to the green dot that is shown when the camera is active? See the following from Learn the meaning of iPhone status icons - Apple Support


Camera in use. An app is using your camera. See Control which apps have access to the camera and microphone on your iPhone.
