Blue dot on photo

Trying to take a picture of the super moon but blue dot appears on every one. Have tried without flash, turning off my house outdoor and indoor lights, changing angles. Nothing worked. Ideas? Way to remove?

Does this Blue Dot appear on every photo on the same spot same size? If no read the Wiki article below. If yes then clean your camera surface and if that does not resolve the issue then Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support 


Lens flare refers to a phenomenon wherein light is scattered or flared in a lens system, often in response to a bright light, producing a sometimes undesirable artifact within the image. This happens through light scattered by the imaging mechanism itself, for example through internal reflection and scattering from material imperfections in the lens. Lenses with large numbers of elements such as zooms tend to exhibit greater lens flare, as they contain a relatively large number of interfaces at which internal scattering may occur. These mechanisms differ from the focused image generation mechanism, which depends on rays from the refraction of light from the subject itself.
