Cheap? Puhleeze. Lasers can and will damage the sensor in ANY camera, not just iPhone. Your phones camera is now damaged as result and you'll need to pay Apple to replace the affected camera which was damaged.

Lasers can damage your eyes and digital camera sensors .

Try it on a top end Leica - cheapness has nothing to do with it.
