With every new edition of its iPhone, Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) improves the quality of the camera. iPhone 4 and 4S both had amazing cameras and paired with Instagram, they became took image sharing to a whole new level.
Apple Inc (AAPL)’s iPhone 5’s camera was supposed to outdo both its predecessors. Unfortunately, as many users are now discovering, the new camera takes pictures that have a purple halo effect, if there is a bright light source just outside the frame. But camera flare is normal, right? Generally, yes. But iPhone 4 and 4S both didn’t have this issue. And camera flare is generally not purple either.
The camera issue is not present in all Apple Inc (NASSDAQ:AAPL)’s phones, but it is wide-spread. It was reported for the first time on AnandTech’s forums and from there onwards, lots of users have come forward reporting it. While the actual cause of the problem is unclear, the popular theory is that the Apple Inc’s iPhone 5 camera’s Sapphire lens. The Sapphire lens comes in a number of colors and the halo effect may be due to light refracting through the colored lens.
Another theory by iPhone camera enthusiasts is that Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) may have changed the noise on photos from speckles to smearing which is causing the purple halo. Apple Inc (AAPL) has so far made no comment on the matter.
If you want to test your iPhone 5’s camera, point to it a bright light source then move the camera so that the light source is out of the frame. Look for a purple halo or haze originating from the direction of the light source. If it isn’t there, you’re good to go. If it is, hang in there because Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) is bound to comment on this soon, and possibly with some solution as well.
