Is anyone else experiencing a bright reflection when shooting towards a light source. On both the 1x and 2x I am getting a bright reflection that appears in the photo. (iPhone 12 pro was not listed in the device options below)
iPhone 11 Pro
I have contacted Apple and they are replacing my iPhone 12 Pro after I sent them sample photos of the ghosting/reflections in the images. A $300 point and shoot digital camera produces lens flare, as does a $10,000 professional DSLR kit--but neither will produce the ghosting/reflecting I and others are seeing with photos taken with these faulty Apple lenses. The problem Apple has with the iPhone lens is NOT lens flare, it's ghosting/reflecting.
I did a camera test with my iPhone X and I had nice lens flares--as was to be expected--but again I didn't see any ghosting/reflections like I am seeing with the 12 Pro. If the replacement phone has the same issue, I'm going to get a refund. There is nothing "Pro" about using a camera that doesn't work as advertised.

You too. Our day has been wonderful and hope yours has been as well.
I’ve used the X for well over a year and never once had this issue

is there an apple program in the works to fix this?
You can't fix "normal," so no.
I have spoken to apple who have confirmed that some of the iPhone 12 max iPhones have a lens fault
Well it's possible that some lenses may have a fault, the artifacts seen in this thread are not the result of a fault.
Sadly I’m experiencing this in iPhone 12 too🥲
unfortunately yes. It’s with iphone series 11 and 12.
what if I compare with huawei p30pro and the huawei doesn't have it...I mean the ghosting
I'm happy for you that you like it when the lighting of the fairy lights is repeated in the middle of the picture. I, on the other hand, find it an imposition. Because it doesn't belong in the photo.
I couldn't have described it better. Very good. That's exactly how it is.
That's a great shot!
agree 100%
Agree 100%
I 100% agree. This seems to be a design flaw in the lens, something apple needs to address.
William, did you work on the design team for iPhone 12? You seem to be very defensive of this flawed phone?
