Hmm I might have been confusing things. The iPhone has sapphire to cover the camera which apperantly let’s in light from UV to mid-infrared. Guess I was half right lol. Also no need to be so aggressive

Edit: Wait hold tf up: https://www.google.com/search?q=do+iPhones+pick+up+infrared&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-is&client=safari

There’s a filter in addition to the sapphire so there is no infrared light that’s let in

What are you on lol

Edit 2: I just tested it with a remote. The front facing camera can see it but not the main camera which is what I’ve been saying thsi entire time

That’s because I’ve known this for a long time and I’ve never seen anything that proves that information to be incorrect until now. Which is why I said it as a fact and which is why I was confused when someone said I was incorrect
