...and another

I took a picture with the 4s in the same location and angle without the haze
That's not chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration is a purple fringe around the objects in the focal point of a picture usually caused by inferior lenses.

I think there is a legit issue here no matter many people say its a natural camera phenomena. I guess Apple agrees with those people though.

I called apple and the woman on the phone said that not all the iphone 5 have this issue. She said I could swap out my phone but nearest apple store is 2 hours away. Today is my last day with Verizon (14 day return policy) so I will see what they can do.
I'm going to put money on the fact that the all iPhone 5's CAN have this issue, but not all pictures WILL have this issue.
Probably right. So, do we just live with this or what?

I guess I am wondering how many times this would actually occur in normal use. I had not had it happen in nearly 300 shots taken prior to hearing about this. I then tried to recreate the purple haze purposely and after 30 shots with different positioning of the sun in the pictures, I was able to get it once. One of the main reasons I love the iphone is the superior camera and in all honesty, I don't feel the purple haze as we call it will happen enough to be an issue to me.
Either way, I guess ill live with it.
Why in the hell should you have to just live with it? That's terrible! Especially if you enjoy using your iPhone to take pictures like I do. This is ridiculous and not something we should just have to "live with".
It is a hardware issue. Too thin. Really, that's it.
I don't have this issue at all and i'm pretty sure my phone is just as thin as every other iPhone 5. Probably just a random occurrence related to some manufacturing issue that very obviously hasn't affected every handset. Just take it to an Apple store and have them swap it out for you.
