Can bright & strong LED light damage Face ID or TrueTone sensor

When removing some dust from the front speaker on my iPhone 14 Pro I used another iPhone’s LED light to shine to the speaker & dynamic island area (where are Face ID & TrueTone sensors). I put the LED light relatively close (0.5-0.7 inch close) to the sensors - is there any chance the light damaged the sensors?

Proximity Sensor Visible Through Display, iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max As stated in the keynote address announcing the iPhone 14 Pro Series, the proximity sensor (and apparently the ambient light sensor) has been relocated to behind the display and not within the Dynamic Island. Can anyone else actually see the proximity sensor while either flashing a flashlight or directing sunlight to the area of the screen below the Dynamic Island? Or do I have a defect in my screen?

Strange blue dots while taking a black photo with night mode Hi I recently bought my first iPhone, a 15 Pro Max. Curious to see how much light the sensor could capture in the dark, I tried to take a picture in a dark room with the main sensor and night mode, and I noticed some strange blue dots. Then I tried to clean the sensor and take a picture with the main sensor covered but the dots were still there, this is an example (increase the brightness): I don't know if this is normal or if I should ask for a replacement if this is a defect. Help please??

Unlikely. Do you have symptoms to suggest damage?
