I noticed a small white dot that shows up on the upper-right hand next to the time/cell network provider. What is the purpose of this dot? It is not a burned out dot as it moves into view from the top of the screen when I exit from locked screen.

It may mean that one of your apps is currently recording either sound, image, or both. Go to support.apple.com for official support.
