iPhone 5 Camera Suffering From Purple Haze Flaw? Not So Fast
according to this article the haze thing is something all cameras deal with. its not some iphone 5 bug, its the nature of camera's. in fact the 4S is worse from what he shows.
I think this is a non issue.

This is now an issue for many iphone owners who use their camera alot. I mean really, who wants to see a purple haze across their pics. Its not just an i5 issue either, i believe its an iOS6 thing. Like in my previous post, my daughter upgraded her 4S to ios6 last night, and now this purple haze shows, on the other hand, i'm still on ios5 and i do not have this or any other shadowing issue with my 4S.
this is one of the things that annoys me about my 5!!
Honestly though, you have to look at it in a sense of when this fringing happens...99% of your pictures are not going to have this problem, 99% of the areas you take a picture are not going to have the contrast issue that would cause this kind of issue. Truth be told, i could go out to the same area i took the pictures from above at and take 100 normal, every day pictures out there and there would be no "purple haze" problem, and i had to try and replicate it to post what i have above.
I honestly don't think people need to worry about it unless they start taking normal pictures like they would with any point and shoot camera and they start seeing this issue in those cases.
I disagree in that its not that big of a problem. If you look at any photo where there is a light source coming in you will see the purple haze. It's really annoying, but hopefully there is a fix.
That's not true at all...go take a look at the iPhone 5 official picture thread and you'll see plenty of pictures with varying points of light that do NOT have this issue. In both of these examples (especially the 2nd) the light source (sun) would be coming in at the camera, in the second picture, the position of the shadows on the clouds would point at the sun being just out of range on top of the photographer (slightly in front)...there are no issues with the color contrast here.

...you should go read the articles about the specifics in this issue to understand whats going on.

@Scooter...Your TV appears to be the light source causing it...

It's certainly something that CAN happen with all cameras...but it's not quite as easy to replicate. My wife owns both a 5D and 7D canon, and she took them outside to see if she could replicate it...neither of them had the problem at all. Now both of those are very high end cameras, so comparing their results to the iPhone 5's abilities is a bit unfair, but i just wanted to point out that this is not an issue that all cameras just natively experience, they CAN have the same problem, but it's not as easy as it is with the iPhone's camera.
