iPhone 5 owners bombard Apple with complaints over camera fault that gives images a 'purple haze'
Check out iPhone5 tech forums @ XDA-Developers, AnandTech, Apple Forums and others that recount tales of the camera's
woes, and users have taken to Twitter to show off images where the 'purple haze' appears.

Apple's "image" is on the line as yet another problem seems to be plaguing the new phone.
Users are reporting that images taken on the camera are ringed with a 'purple haze' on any image containing a bright light.
They are now complaining to Apple in droves, with Apple forums littered with complaints from users hoping Apple can solve
the problem without a product recall.
The issue adds to a number of criticisms with the new phone, including light 'bleeding' from the edge of the screen, some
phones rattling due to loose internal components, and the removal of Google Maps in favour of Apple's seemingly unfinished
in-house Map app.
Users will be hoping this is a software bug that can be fixed with an update - but some users blame the sapphire crystal lens,
in which case a fix would be unlikely without a product recall.
Some users have also spotted the problem with video, while other users have taken images of the same location with the
iPhone 5, iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 to highlight the drop in image quality.
