Blue dot in photos

Is there anyone out there who actually knows what they’re talking about when it comes to this blue dot in photos. It is not a reflection off the case. It is not a filter on the camera. It is a blue dot in the picture whether the daylight or night time. It is a fault with the camera itself on the iPhone 12. I don’t know why this can’t be addressed. Please don’t respond if you don’t know what you’re talking about. That’s most irritating

It is lens flare. It is a reflection off of the iPhone lens from a particular light source. You can usually identify the light source when you look at the photo. The only way to adjust this is to identify the light source and try adjusting the angle of the iPhone to minimize it. You cannot generally remove it completely, just minimize it.
