As consumers
are gradually getting their hands on the iPhone 5, it appears that the latest
version of the smartphone offering of Apple has shown some issues on the screen
and the images themselves.
According to
reports, a purple halo would appear on the camera after it is aimed at a bright
light source. Forum users on AnandTech have reportedly indicated that the issue
appears if the camera of the iPhone 5 is pointed towards a light source that is
bright, like an incandescent light or the sun. After the camera is moved to put
the light source out of the screen, the camera will show a purple halo. The
same purple halo will reportedly appear on the images that are taken.
One forum
user showed some iPhone 5 images that had the artificial light source and the
sun off screen. The purple halo appeared on the images. Another forum user also
posted a video that showed the purple halo lens flare.
However, it
appears that the iPhone 5 image glitch was not true to all users, which is
typical when it comes to glitches on newly-released devices. But a user has
indicated that Apple support had revealed that the issue was widespread and the
company is reportedly investigating it. Apple support has reportedly revealed
that many users have called in connection to this latest issue on the iPhone 5.
A number of
forum users have indicated that the issue may have been caused by the camera’s
sapphire crystal lens cover. The material was used to protect the lens from
being scratched. Another report indicated that since sapphire is available in
numerous colors, the purple halo glitch may have been caused by light being
refracted through a sapphire lens colored purple.
No other
forum has mentioned this particular issue on the iPhone 5. Therefore it is not
easy to know how widespread the problem is. For the moment Apple has yet to
release an official statement on the latest issue that has emerged following
the launch of the iPhone 5.
The purple
halo is the most recent issue in connection to the iPhone 5. Earlier issues
that were reported by owners of the latest model of the iPhone include static
lines found on the keyboard, light leaks, and scrapes along the edges of the
device.
Apple has
not made any official statements on the reported issues that affected the
iPhone 5. However Phil Schiller, the marketing head of the company reportedly
indicated that chips and scratches on the latest model of the iPhone is normal
for a product made of aluminum.
