iPhone 5 Camera Horrible Purple Lines Down Pictures!

Same here. Get a new one while it's still under warranty! 🙂

the same thing.
rear camera on iPhone5c 16Gb died.
Rarely, magenta-like gradient instead of the normal image. Most of the time just a black screen .
Resetting to a factory state didn't help either.

Apple representative confirmed it is a hardware problem

I am going to send it through UPS back to Apple today.

Hope, I won't see that or any other issues after that.

You are getting pink flickering lines in camera

it was more like flickering pink (magenta, to be precise) screen.

You might have drop your phone or something in internal have becomed loose...

Nope, the phone never was dropped or put in water. It is foxconn failing to control qwality properly. In the middle of 2013 Apple already turned 5 million iPhones back to foxconn, so, it is not the first time...

You were getting this lines while using internet beause in iphone 5 we are getting while using internet when the phone gets warm

Internet? Do you mean, WiFi or cellular network provided data stream? These are different devices in iPhone.
Second - about warming up -- it doesn't seem to be the case in my situation: once the camera died it stayed dead even after resetting the phone with the factory reset. It just gradually decayed from giving some purple -magenta-ish like flash on the screen and then resuming normal operation, to giving out simply black screen and no image whatsoever. Once it reached that last "black screen" state, it stays there and no reset could get the camera back.

Pinpointing the exact cause without knowing schematics is close to pure speculations which woun't help neither Apple users nor its engineers.

You always turn camera you are getting this problem or sometimes

there was no problem at first. (This was less than one month old iPhone5c)
Then, couple of days ago, while running some code samples from Apples website, I noticed that the rear camera started to behave strangely. I thought that it was some glitch in code and it caused this to happen.

Then later the same day when I first encountered the problem, I realized that the cam app and any code samples I was using didn't work anymore.

Now, it doesn't work all the time when I am trying to open any app that requres the rear camera.

Technically speaking, NOW the iPhone is on its way to Apple's facility.

What are code sampels???

if you have iOS developer program membership, you can download pieces of Objective C code from Apple Developer website.

Ur camera is not workink at all or sometimes it is working..

Folks,

I got my iPhone replaced 2 weeks back (after 3 weeks of battle with local service center). Please contact apple with the following steps to replicate this issue. Apple confirmed that this's a hardware issue. Don't waste your time during the contract and get this replaced ASAP.

1) disable Wifi and 3G.

2) Wait for your phone to switch to GPRS/2G.

3) Send a iMessage or email - anything that involves network access.

4) Open Camera app while the phone is using the network and you should see the glitches.

Hope this helps.
