My guess it is cheaper to do software features rather than a physical led … cutting costs at every corner

Every phone has an LED for the camera flash.

How is that relevant to the OP’s question?

They could make it blink with software to notify you.

My phone (galaxy z fold 4) has this feature built in, it’s under accessibility. I believe iphones can do it too.

For the fold 4, do you know if there is there a way to customize a color for each specific app?
