Small blue squiggly lines on photos taken with iPhone

User uploaded fileUser uploaded file

These blue squiggly lines have appeared when i take photos with my front & rear facing iPhone 6 camera. They have not always been there and there doesn't seem to be any damage to either of the lenses. I know they are small but are easily noticeable especially when zoomed in. How are they caused? is this something apple can fix? i have found no questions similar to this on the web.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2

The times I have seen this, the problem has always been inside the actual cameras. And has been repaired with replacement cameras. I've got to say it's very strange for it to have occurred with BOTH cameras.

Apple don't do camera replacements, but they would offer you an Out Of Warranty Replacement option.

Your other option is to find a reputable independent repairer who will be able to replace both the cameras for you.
