Yeah but how many iPhone pictures are taken every day?
I'm not saying I'm convinced, but even something with 1/1,000,000,000 odds isn't really out of the question for an action that must happen at least millions of times a day.

If you suppose the bit flip happens in the CPU registers, the number of state changes on a modern CPU is so incredibly huge that a random bit flip doesn't just cause a memory load from a wrong address or a crash is, again, much less probable than 1/1e9 odds, by a lot.
And as explained in my other comment, you'd have to show that this behaviour can be expressed in one bit. Is there a bit anywhere in the iOS hardware and software that by changing from 0 to 1 can run a code path that replaces your face with a leaf? I doubt that.
I stand by Occam's razor. This happens because it's a bug introduced by its programmers rather than a random gamma ray that turned a bit to 1.
