White iPhone 4S 32GB Camera, Internet Issues.

Hey guys, got the white 32GB iphone 4s on Friday. However the camera seems to have an issue with the flash. Every photo used with flash comes out with a white haze over the image and looks worse than photos without flash. The white is also worst and the left of the image (closer to the flash).

It is actually quite noticeable when changing from flash > no flash in the movie mode and you can see how bad it is when it changes to flash.


Also its quite strange with when it wants to connect to the internet. Using just my optus connection it will work fine 1 minute then not work at all the next (without loosing any reception bars or 3G). I ran 2 internet speed tests back to back. The first time it responded well the second which was directly after it barely even picked up signal. And that aswell was without loosing any reception bars or 3G signal.

Anyone else having similar issues?

I have the same problem with the flash on my phone. Mine is white. I discovered that it only happens when I have the case on it. My husband has the black phone and the pictures look the same with or without a case. I think this is a design flaw that Apple should address. Clearly the white of the phone is creating some sort of reflection when the flash is used. I'm considering taking mine back and getting the black phone. The white phones are defective in my opinion.

It's not the case that messes up the photo. It's the fact that the phone is white. My friends and I tested it out. All of us with white phones have the same problems. Those with black phones do not. The white phone causes some sort of reflective light bounce and a haze when flash is used with a cover on. That shouldn't happen and it is not unreasonable to expect someone to put a cover on a phone. The fact that the white phone's flash causes a haze due to reflection when the case is on is clearly indicative of a design defect in my opinion. I paid $400 for my phone and have every right to expect it to work properly with or without a case. It doesn't happen with the black phone, therefore it is a design defect.

causing some sort of reflective light bounce.
