One of the accessories that many people have started to care about recently is considered unnecessary and wasteful.
Recently, some people have started using lens protectors for their iPhone cameras . But they are not cases with lens covers or protruding covers to protect the lens from contact with the surface. Instead, they use regular protectors that are unnecessary and only serve to make money for accessory companies.
Modern iPhone camera lenses are made of sapphire which is highly scratch resistant.
There are two main reasons why using a lens protector is not a good option. Firstly, it can reduce image quality because by placing a layer of glass, plastic or other material in front of the lens, we create an obstruction that affects the ability to focus and take pictures. This is especially noticeable with high-end phones with outstanding cameras.
Second, Apple has now used sapphire material on the iPhone lens to increase its durability and scratch resistance, thereby reducing the need for a lens protector. Sapphire is known to be one of the hardest materials on the Mohs scale of hardness, second only to diamond. This means that the iPhone's sapphire camera lens is highly scratch-resistant. Although the lens can break if subjected to strong impacts, users can rest assured that it will not be scratched by collision with objects such as keys or walls.
This makes lens protectors unnecessary.
If you’re worried about protecting your camera lens, remember that a screen protector isn’t really necessary. In the event of a major impact, a screen protector won’t prevent damage. So if you see someone placing the back of their phone on a table, you can rest assured unless the table is made of diamond, which is rare.
With this information in mind, if you are using iPhone camera lens protectors, you may want to consider removing them as they can collect dirt and reduce image quality.
