You should go ahead and excuse yourself, as I can 100% confirm this is a thing, as a former phone repair technician.
Said damaged phones will have a permanent black spot in any and all images and videos from that point on, unless you replace the camera.
Go ahead, go stare into the sun, see what happens to you. Same thing happens to your camera...
Thanks for sharing this advice. Sunlight is great stuff, but also insanely harmful.
And I’m just going to also leave this here: A simple Google search of “does direct sunlight damage camera lenses?” shows countless expert opinions in support of “yes, it does.” Of course cameras and phones are made to handle sunlight, but there’s plenty of evidence that prolonged direct exposure can and does damage many different cameras, which almost definitely includes those on cell phones.
