Hi everyone,
Last night I went out to take some photos with my new iPhone 8 Plus and I realised that there were many little dots everywhere when I shot to light sources.
Sometimes it’s like a big reflection inside the lens.
Please help me to understand if its an hardware problem or a lens flare effect.
I think it's unacceptable this effect for a smartphone have this price.
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 11.0.3
A few days after I got my brand new iphone 8, I noticed this issue in a night time video I took in the country, where sources of light were scarce. So then I started doing tests everywhere, and sadly, realized it happens ALL THE TIME. Very ticked off. Not acceptable Apple! I wish I had read these posts before I upgraded. I would have been better off with my old iphone6. If I hadn't upgraded the day before leaving the country for a month (I even did so for sake of having a better camera for my travels), I would have taken the phone back and returned it.
I'm including examples where it's very clear that it's not a lens flare. One can see clearly that the "dirt" takes on the shape of the source of light. It's a reflection, not a flare.
I have exact same issue as yours with my iPhone 8 Plus, in fact I can see these reflection even on a video
I am attaching few pictures for refer
Hi, can you attach some picture to compare with my issue?
This lensflare is very frustrating for me!
I have the same issues lol but I’m happy because its normal
This lensflare is very frustrating for me.
What did Apple tell you about this issue ?
So if you look at all your pictures they have to do with the same setting, a night scene with lights. This is normal for all high quality lenses..
So it’s your problem fixed ? I m having the same issue please let me know
Today I recognized the same problem on my iPhone 8 and am very upset that it’s “normal”...
Do all 8 and 8 plus have this effect?
Not true. My iPhone 5s was able to take great pics at night. Upgraded to an iPhone 8 Plus and night pics produces glares, tiny dots etc.
This is a user to user only forum. If you think there's something wrong with your phone, make an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar for evaluation.
iPhone 8 Plus horrible lens flare and reflections
