iPhone 7 Plus Camera Problem against Direct light

Just received my iPhone 7 Plus and, as seen in the photo bellow, when taking photos, I'm getting a blue reflection of the lamp when they are in the picture frame... this is annoying. I already tried with two different lamps and I get the same result. Anyone experiencing the same problem?

I think it’s a physical limitation of having a very thin lens. The Google Pixel and Samsung experience the same issue.


There is a cool app called TouchRetouch at the App Store which fixes such dots due to lens flare very easily. It can be used to also remove other unwanted objects, like wires and poles

Hi mate. I have a same problem like you iphone 7 plus Camera.

I Also have a iphone 7 plus that I took yesterday.

I'm sooooo disappointed about it.

You probably remember a glorious presentation that continued more than 2 hours

to only show off their dual camera, don't you?

Can you understand this kinda unexpected blue points are appearing

in more than 900£ smart phone? I can't, definitely.

Taking a look in my recent photo library I see two photos, one get a really yellow, other blue. But I think this was due to illumination and the environment. However the blue thing is in every photo that I make agains a lamp... It is unacceptable for a premium phone, a friend with a 5S could take photos without this blue thing... shame... It will be nice if you can all post photos here, so we could compare.
