Don't leave your phone in the sun. Aside from the devastating heat, it'll also burn your camera out just like it will your eyes.

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.
