Never heard this complaint before iphone5! Never saw it in Android phones!
I never had this problem with any of my phones! Ever…
From hundreds of pictures i’ve taken all this years with all my smartphones, i haven’t got this purple flare in any of them, not one!
We never heard complaints before, just with iphone5.
So its Not Normal to smartphones to have this issue!

        Cust: 'Apple! how come the camera got purple haze?'
        Apple: 'Cust, the way you take the photo is wrong, don't you know that every good photographer will not point the camera directly to the sun???????? what a F****NG BL***Y ID**T CUST!!! Stop complaining!' lolx.. just kidding. I just found that the way they respond to this issue is pretty similar to antennagate issue last time.

          MEAT, 08 Oct 2012CORRECTION. You Android users are jealous of iphone coz its... moreWe don't have any reason to hate or get jelly of iphone because it's just an iphone. If Apple is going to create iphone6 using a piece of rock, you will still buy it due to the fact that it has apple logo on it.

                        Guys, stop whining. Just buy an iPhone 5 (if you have the money) and see how awesome it is.

                          Pasha, 08 Oct 2012Nothing Spedial? I bet you could not find a smartphone with... morehmmm my almost 1,5 years old galaxy s2 spec:
                          Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9
                          8.5 mm thinckness

                          cmon man you cant really compare iphone spec with androids spec, . . all iphone have just is OS, and thats it, i remembered the reaction of my friend who has iphone 4 , when he looked my newly unboxed galaxy s2 last year, "116gr?its so light,it feels like a toy phone, there is no grip on it, feels cheap " . . and then 1 year later -,- "my god iphone 5 its so light, nothing lighter than iphone , its the best!" zzz what an hypocrite.

                                  Even if the screen is not working, iphone fans won't give a sht and still buy it.

                                    Haha, I am in disbelief that people are still dying to get this mid-functioning, malfunctioning and sub-functioning smartphone. In fact, let's just call it a phone because it is lesser than iP4S. It's a step back, not a true leap with all the non-properly working aspects:

                                    *Maps unusable since incomplete
                                    *Signal weakened by touching the metal back with your hand
                                    *Back and sides prone to scratches with paint chipping off with poor manufacturing & quality control - explained as totally normal by Apple's marketing department
                                    *Battery drains faster than promised 8 hours of use
                                    *Loose internal part rattles when shaken
                                    *Wi-Fi connection issues with the new OS
                                    *Can't use phone and LTE data at the same time
                                    *You need to pay $30 for an adaptor so you can connect with your expensive accessories
                                    *Only records mono audio even for 1080p video recording
                                    *And now this - purple lens haze explained as perfectly normal

                                    Yes, because you believe in this product, enough to say that those are okay - perfectly nothing wrong and normal.

                                      Dude Sensible, 08 Oct 2012An Apple fan will always remain an Apple fan because he can... morehmm nope dont think so . . . i have to admit i AM an android fan,and i dont think that iphone is a trashy phone or any other kinds of disgrace to the world of technology. its actually a good phone, smooth and nice.

                                      but what i hate about apple, is the people who used it, yes iphone is good, but not the best, it has so many issue even in its 5th release, and i CAN afford iphones, but i know it doesnt fit my daily needs , especially the connectivity part , it holds me to connect to others (by "others" i mean NON apple product). and apple fans keep trying to mock others just like apple did with other company.

                                        iPhone users simply don't care on these issues. Even if it has a million flaws, it's still the most perfect phone for them. We android users don't have to hate iphone because it's just an iphone.
