IPhone 5's camera leaves bruises in photographs

Apple recommends changing the position to avoid the situation
It seems that fate is the fate of Apple, every time it launches a product has a defect or be the target of some scandal about the reliability of its functionality.
And if the i Phone 4 the problem was the antenna , in the recent iPhone 5 with iOS Maps 6 have already given much to talk about.
However it seems that there is yet another controversy with the iPhone 5, this time related to the camera that lets light purple bruises in photographs. Apple, meanwhile, was quick to react to this situation.




At the launch of iPhone 4, Apple had to deal with a controversial case due to Antennagate , a situation in which the Apple smartphone would lose signal acquisition.
Two years later he was released the brand new iPhone 5 with new features, a new look ... and also new problems.
A first detected this problem were the iPhone Maps developed by Apple itself with the also new, iOS 6. What would be a service replacement for Google Maps, proved to be an application still much less than expected and from what users are accustomed brand of Cupertino.
However the criticism does not stop there, and more recently is the quality of the camera that has since talk. This is because the photographs makes light purple spots that are not found in previous iPhones.

Apparently, this is due to the new iPhone 5 that the lens is protected and composed and sapphire crystal. And since this spot is due to lights that fall outside the frame, and at certain angles, the same occurrence has been dubbed Purple Haze in a reference to Jimi Hendrix.
For its part, Apple was quick to comment and explain the situation, even leaving a note on the official website , which indicates that the light sources positioned at certain angles, usually out of sight, can cause reflections that interfere with the capture of light by the camera's sensor, thereby causing distortions in the image.
To solve this problem, the Cupertino company advises, thereby changing slightly the angle of the photo in order to reduce or even eliminate this defect in the photographs.

"Most small cameras, including Those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame When capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen When the light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes the reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at Which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, Should Eliminate or minimize the effect."
