I get blue dots in some of the photos I take- mostly low light shots. This happened on my 11 Pro but persists on my 13 Pro. I was really hoping they would have fixed this by now.
Is anyone aware of a fix or whether this is a defect in my particular phone?
That looks like lens flare. It is the result of having a light source falling directly on the camera lens. It will happen with any camera if a light source strikes the lens directly.
You should be able to see it on the screen before you take the photo, so try moving the phone slightly, or used your hand to block the light source from hitting the lens. Here is a longer explanation, with other examples→iPhone Camera Lens Flare and Reflections - Apple Community

I didn’t think it was flare since I had tried to shield the lens but it sure looks like the examples in your linked article. Thanks.
Hi wakis,
We understand that you are having blue dots on your iPhone photos and we want to help. Are the dots the exact same place each time? Were they the same on your older iPhone?
Let us know.
The blue areas are roughly in the same place on my 13 Pro. I am not sure about the 11 Pro.
I was unable to load the images to compare but one is in my original post.
Hi wakis,
Apple has just released iOS 15.2. Try updating to that one and see if there is any difference.
Hope this helps.
