Q: The "green dot" lens flare in the iPhone 7 / iPhone 7 Plus

I wrote about the "green dot" lens flare issues I have with my iPhone 6 Plus. See Green dots in iPhone 6 Plus photos - is it something that can be fixed? for example photos.

 

I was hoping this problem was fixed with the new iPhones, two years later. But as I see in this review of the iPhone 7 - http://www.techconnect.com/article/3122614/iphone-ipad/iphone-7-review.html?utm_ source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_cam… - if you look at the first two car photos the author shows the "green dot" lens flare is present in both the iPhone 6S and iPhone 7 photos.

 

So I'm disappointed to see that problem has not gone away.

 

Does anybody know if this is also the same with the iPhone 7 Plus, which has two lenses?

    Just wondering if any iPhone 7 Plus users have been able to test this.

     

    Before upgrading, I would like to know if the "green dot" lens flare problem which exists with the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and apparently also with the iPhone 7 also happens with the iPhone 7 Plus.

     

    It has a different lens system, so I'm curious if that problem still occurs or not.
