    iPhone 5 defective camera thread (purple flare)

    lmao. Tell Apple not to make such high claims then. Also, that is a cop out. Fact is something more than a little lens flare is going on during some shots.

    iPhone 5 defective camera thread (purple flare)

    The issue I have is the the recent comparison photos seem to mainly be around excessive light. Sometimes it is not that bad, but you still get excessive purple carry over.

    After reading all of this earlier today I looked back at my picts. Several had a bad purple area somewhere in the image. Did some testing and you can definitely see it near a light source. No need to actually take a picture as you can see it through the camera app. I had read someone called...
