So i accidently pointed my laser pen (not so stronge laser, bougth from turkey) for like max 10 sec at the front camera in my iphone 12, and im pretty worried now… the picture looks normal and okay, but still… Can laser ligths pointed for a short time in the lens break the camera and how do i spot the damages and should i overall be worried if it works fine?
iPhone 12, iOS 15
You have absolutely nothing to worry about. You are probably referring to the very low intensity laser pointer. It is not going to hurt the lens of your camera. NOTE that light with high intensity focused on an object will transmit radiation and will create heat that can damage the object. The laser pointer light that you are referring to is pretty much harmless to objects when pointed and focused for a brief period of time.

Is that too bad? It pointed for like 10 secs
How do i tell how low intensity it is? Can i like send a picture and you could tell me from that?
Point it to the palm of your hand and see if you can feel any heat. (You are not going to). If you do not then then you are fine. The iPhone’s camera lens is fine.
