I woke up this morning to take a picture of the beautiful sunrise and to my surprise I noticed a green dot appearing on my screen. I cleaned my lens and still happening. I tried using the video and still the same. It only happens when the sun is in the background. This is annoying because I like to take pictures of the the sunrise or sunset. Anyone having the same issue on their iPhone 6 plus?
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8
Lads I have done some seemingly conclusive research and it appears that the dot comes from the "potency" of the suns rays bouncing between the sensor and the glass. Apparently dslr cameras can experience the same problem. Long exposure to the bright sunlight can damage the sensor and this leads to that and the camera experiences a blue/green dot. It is almost unavoidable with non-manual shutters
Im having the same issue, I had that with my first iPhone 6 plus and now I got that one replaced due to a screen crack and still happening with this other iPhone 6 plus! Very much unexpected for the price you pay on those phones!
Hi Shayneharidas.
How did the story end, I have the same problem with the dot. Considering support, but discovered this thread.
Hi, I have this very same issue on my iPhone6. Noticed it a few days after I got the phone. Very annoying. I am also a photographer and this feature ****** me of. All devices are Apple, and things like this is a big dissappointment. A device with this price should not have hardware or software bugs like this.
I am also having the same issue with my iPhone 6s. It spoiled many of my vacation photos.
I have get it checked at Apple Service Centre as well but no luck.
And as I can see from other replies that, the issue exists in the 6th Generation generation iPhone Camera kits. Though it's know, Apple did not care to fix the same in 6s as well. So it seems Apple is least concerned about this issue. And we may expect the same being populated in iPhone 7 so on.
I am a big fan of Apple products. I own 3 iPhones, 1 Macbook Air and 1 Macbook Pro w/ Retina. And I have really big expectations with the Apple products. When someone buys Apple products they feel to have a premium product and of course expect a premium quality experience and output as well. Now a days mobile photography is as important as telephone for any mobile phone. So having such issues in Apple products is really disappointing.
In addition to the same. The other iPhone 6s which I bought for my Brother has the identical issue. So it's not that the issue is limited to few iPhones only. It's a Bug in the iPhone 6s hardware itself.
I've had this issue for a while and was hoping Apple would do something to fix it. But after 2 years of seeing this issue, I don't think they are gonna bother fixing it. Very disappointed with Apple.
I have the same problem with my iPhone 7 but it's like a blueish color I need help!!!
My iPhone 7 has same issue. Opened up case with Apple and finally after 20 days of relentless follow up they said it's working as expected. So I am disappointed with iPhone 7 camera. My question to Apple customer care, would you accept photos with green dot in your wedding album. Their answer was obvious "No". So this product is not working as expected.
My brand new I phone 8 + does this too, very disappointed
