Purple Haze on iPhone 5 Photos

How many of y'all are experiencing a purple haze on your iPhone 5 photos? I initially thought this was because I have a purple TPU case on the phone, but after removing it the haze was still there.


Anybody else?

Yep. As any photographer will tell you, you take the photo that you can with the camera that's to hand at the moment that you see it - everything else comes later.


As for 'distorted'? No, they're not 'distorted', merely 'obeying the optical laws of physics' within practicle constraints. Yes, that IS simple! 😉


Seriously though, having an 8mpx camera to hand is wonderful. Most people wouldn't notice any issue for 95% of their shots, particularly when a significant proportion of shots are either discarded, cropped or otherwise reprocessed for 'effect'/'after-effect' anyway. My (much more expensive) Nikon separate lenses are not without issues (if I go looking for them), but here we're talking about a small and lightweight lens IN a small and lightweight camera IN a small and lightweight phone.


Looking at the iPhone5 lens specification, it looks like Apple's done a pretty good job fitting it in as part of a phone, but as always, anyone who is unhappy with what they see, they can always return it and get their money back.


Now, that IS simple! 🙂 (It must be, because even I can cope with that!)

I really do not think getting a new phone is going to make a difference. I've tried numerous models and tested out some from a local Apple Store. They all do it. This is just possibly how this camera is going to work which is all in all unacceptable to me.


I understand it is not a big deal to everyone but the camera is the most important feature. I could take photos of whatever I liked with the 4 and 4S and not have to worry about the purple haze being this bad.
