White Balance on iPhone 4

I was wondering if anyone has heard of the white balance issue being addressed in an upcoming update?

Mine is extremely warm (yellow) indoors, but pretty good outdoors.
I have had it to get cold while allowing direct sunlight to hit it, but thats understandable.

iPhone 4, iOS 4

you folks are not alone. I too have the same problem. the camera works best with sunlight... but with flourescent lighting, totally yellow. an operator told me to restore my phone back to factory settings to rule out if it is a hardware problem. unfortunately, after the restore, the quality is still yellow under flourescent lighting. is this normal for the phone, what should i do. help!

Yes, all Iphone4's have this problem. In fact I returned one because of a really warm white balance in both outdoors & indoors. The second one has good color outside but much too warm inside under tungsten lighting.

This is somewhat common to many digital cameras under indoor lighting, but I think the IPhone4 has this issue to a much greater extent. I even tried white balancing indoors with a white piece of paper while touching the screen where the paper was. The paper became relatively white, but the rest of the frame was still too yellow.

I would think this is a relatively easy software fix. Most reviews on the phone have mentioned this prolem.

Wrong and right. The white balance in auto should be an average color temperature of the available light, either natural or artificial. Most phones dont do a great job but i've never had a problem like this. Fortunately, a firmware update will definitely take care of this issue. The Question? How long will it take apple to get it done and how will it work with different models? Could be a while. : (
