Earlier, we reported that Apple’s iPhone 5 seemed to have some issues with purple flaring when taking
photos with a light source just in or off frame, as reported by a number of users and duplicated in tests.
Today, Gizmodo reader Matt Van Gastel received a response from Apple’s engineering team routed
through a support representative which essentially says that behavior isn’t cause for concern. According
to the email from Apple:
[W]e recommend that you angle the camera away from the bright light source when taking pictures.
The purple flare in the image provided is considered normal behavior for iPhone 5′s camera.
Of course, long-time Apple watchers will recognize this approach to dealing with what seem to be hardware
problems with iPhones, since it’s very similar to what the company initially said about the iPhone 4′s
reception issues, which was basically ‘you’re holding it wrong.'
