It's 2021 now, we're still being told to suffocate ourselves by the ruling class who don't follow their own laws or guidelines and have shoulder to shoulder meals without masks on while asking us serfs to forgive them…. Oh right the phone screen question. I can confirm that direct sunlight will certainly damage and or kill the digitizer if left in direct sunlight for more than a few minutes; it just happened to me yesterday on a phone that otherwise worked flawlessly. Went into the grocery store, when I came back to my car, saw my phone sitting in the sun, it was the hottest I've ever felt it, i mean WOW. The touch works sporadically now and sometimes doesn't work at all no matter where i touch on the screen. FYI The digitizer is under the glass and you don't see it because it's clear; most people are unaware that its responsible for the touch response on your phone screen. That's why sometimes you can crack your glass and it still lights up and the touch still works because the digitizer wasn't damaged....
