XR Photos have vertical stripes of color distortion

iPhone XR running 13.1.1 when I take a photo everything looks normal in the camera app. When I view the photo in the album they have verticals stripes of either red/orange or green/yellow which are distorting the photos. It’s only the back camera not the front camera and I think it only occurs in normal photo mode not square/ panoramic/or portrait mode. I chatted with an Apple techie they told me to update so I updated to iOS 13.1.2 and it’s still occurring? Not sure if this is a soft wear issue or a camera failure? It seems to be worse under led light as opposed to natural light. I included A few photos as examples of what I’m seeing.

Are your photos in HDR mode? I would test with HRD turned off and see, if the problem persists.

Go to Settings  > Camera, then turn off Smart HDR.


HDR might emphasize the effects of an artificial light.


You can also compare the HDR versions to the normal photo, if you enable "Keep normal version":

Settings  > Camera, then turn on Keep Normal Photo.

Hi Folks


even i to have the similiar issue, i ran all the diagnostic checks and screen sharing to apple support and reporduced the same issue when i was on call with them. Not sure why a premium segment manufacturer is not able to detect such issues when they pass through there Quality assurance program.


Guess on a slow note apple might loose its market.


BTw have a look at my photos.
