The last one may not work anymore. A ton of phones nowadays have IR filters.

They all do and always have, they just aren't perfect.
Really? I thought they usually used to have no filters, especially on the front camera. Well of course the lenses always filtered some IR light, but I wouldn't call that a filter, they also "filter" non IR light. A filter to me is a dedicated element or coating that prevents the majority of IR to be transmitted.
