Do all the iPhone 12s have a lens flare occurring? This is super annoying. Wrecks what otherwise would be a great video or photo. I noticed the first time I used the camera, in my home, and I just videoed the rocket launch and there’s a **** flare floating all in the video

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14
Thanks for responding with that info. I think I was caught off guard by this and I’m seeing others in other media state the same.
I have like 12k photos and videos over the last 10 years and can’t recall 1 with a flare I wasn’t purposefully inducing and now
get it constantly with the new 12.
in this shot not aimed at a light source it runs the middle of the photo
just noticed also it’s not as bad in ultra wide and it’s only when the light source is left of center. I’ll add photos with the sun on the left and right of center
If it’s completely normal then why have my prior phones, all samsungs , never had an issue with this? Zero flare in low light or daylight, ever...
so disappointed. Was loving the 12 mini for the size but probably going to return it. Such an expensive piece of technology and they can’t get the camera right.
Here’s a photo, the first I took after opening the box. Circled the flare
Yes, it's normal for all high end smartphone cameras.
Here's a note from Samsung explaining it for their phones.
As stated, completely normal with an intense light source shining directly into the camera.
You’ve been very lucky. Every Samsung I’ve had has shown the same issue in the right circumstances.
