No, apps cannot access the iPhone microphone while the device is locked. The content from the WWDC sessions emphasizes the importance of privacy and security when the device is locked. For example, in the session Build a great Lock Screen camera capture experience, it is mentioned that the locked camera capture framework is designed with a focus on security and privacy, ensuring that the contents of people's devices are protected. Additionally, the session What’s new in privacy highlights that iOS 18 brings an additional layer of privacy by requiring authentication before accessing any app when the device is locked.
