iPhone 13 front camera shows blue dot in photos

Hi, I’m using an iPhone 13. Whenever I take a selfie, a blue dot appears on the screen and also comes in the photo. I already tested in different lighting conditions and cleaned the lens, but the issue is still coming. I attached the fromt camera screen shot

That is usually caused by a bright light burning the sensor. Were you ever at a nightclub or concert where lasers were used and you took a picture?


The CMOS sensor is damaged and will need to be replaced.


Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it repaired.
