LiDAR lasers on newer cars can destroy your iPhone camera lens.

Ryan King from Jalopnik via The Verge:

Reddit user u/Jeguetelli posted worrying footage of a brand new Volvo EX90 from his iPhone 16 Pro Max. Nothing was wrong with the crossover SUV. That was the problem. The lidar sensor mounted in a pod above the windshield shot out a laser barrage of near-infrared light into the camera. The damage was immediate and obvious, leaving behind a red, pink and purple constellation of fried pixels. You can tell the permanent damage was to that specific lens because the image returned to normal after zooming out to a different lens. Jeguetelli didn't seem too concerned about the incident because he had Apple Care.

You don’t even have to be directly in front of the LiDAR unit in order to get permanent damage as you can see from the video, so just don’t risk it regardless of whether or not you have AppleCare+. This would technically fall under “Other Accidental Damage,” which is a $99 fee with AppleCare+, and $249 without AppleCare+.
