Apple Acknowledges iPhone 5 Camera Flaw
An anonymous reader writes "Many iPhone 5 users are complaining that its camera is adding a purple flare to their photos. Speculation is that it's caused by the new sapphire lens cover that Apple touted as 'thinner and more durable than standard glass with the ability to provide crystal clear images.' Apple's response to those who've complained? 'The purple flare in the image provided is considered normal behavior for iPhone 5's camera.'"
You're holding it wrong, you want to get lost, these pictures should be that colour, wifi connections should use your wireless bandwidth, battery life is supposed to be that poor if you use it (especially for facebook), those scratches are normal out of the case, this new connector is far better than the old one and adapters are the best you can get.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people rush out to purchase a new product with both unreviewed hardware and software and then get upset that there are flaws.
Do you not yet understand that the price for showing off your elite toy is that you are a paying beta tester?
Is this why there's a bump where the camera is on the Galaxy Nexus, and the lens itself is recessed in a mm?

They still screwed up the outdoor one. One photo is taken at least several minutes after the other.
It looks like Apple traded a bit of flare resistance in challenging photographic conditions for other benefits - a scratch proof lens being not the least of them. Personally, I'd much rather have a sapphire lens cover for my cell phone camera than the ability to take slightly less shitty pictures in shitty conditions.
