Camera bursting with light
My camera is bursting with too much light, it doesn’t seem normal to me, but my friend’s iPhone 11 Pro camera is having the same issue, and now I’m confused. Could this issue be related to iOS 16?

This is also called Lens flare.
When bright light sources, like streetlights or headlights, are present in the frame, they can cause lens flare. Lens flare occurs when light scatters within the lens system, creating artifacts like ghosting, reduced contrast, and sometimes colorful streaks.
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.
I’I can’t believe it was something so simple. I just cleaned it with a cotton swab soaked in water and dried it with the other end of the swab, and it went back to normal! It was so straightforward.
