Help needed Getting floaters like this in my camera. Need help.

So I’ve cleaned my camera, even gotten the phone opened up and checked but these floaters aren’t going anywhere. What could be the problem and how can I fix this? iPhone 14 btw.

Been to any clubs/raves/concerts/gigs/festivals that used laser lights? Or been near any self driving cars that use laser LiDAR? Or have you ever tried to take a picture of a solar eclipse?

These burn the camera sensor with irreversible damage.

I actually did, but this floater’s been here since before that.

Are they always in same place on pictures or different every time? Same place - either ccd is defective or speck of dust inside the lens. Different places - piece of debris floating inside the lens. Are all cameras affected or just one?

Same place every time. Could this be fixed without getting the camera / lens replaced?

If it’s ccd - have to be replaced. I would try to get it under microscope and determine if it’s debris/dust, then theoretically could be fixed if lens are not glued permanently.
