    I have a Galaxy S3 with a custom Rom and the camera module from A GNote2. I also get a slight purpleish hugh with a strong light source but it is barely noticeable. I have tried to reproduce my co-workers iphone5 results but could not even come close. I don't remember seeing this on my stock firmware though. Apple will not be able to keep up with LG, Sony, or Samsung. It is hard to keep prices down when you don't actually build/manufacture your own parts. I never liked their business model anyways.

            Why you all are blaming Apple?

            I read in an old Mayan's book that world will end in December 2012. And just two months before end, Sun will start spreading purple flares over the world.
            This is actually an innovation of Apple. iPhone 5 camera can see the future two months before.
            Apple has already filed patent application for this. And will soon start to find out if someone else has (even already) used this technology, so to sue for infringement.

              billy jean, 09 Oct 2012You all got it wrong. Sun changed his color to purple, its ... morethats a good one. So I shall now blame the sun for the faults of Apple. But "never" should I blame Apple. Thats a load of lies from Apple. Iphone 5 sucks really. Lets stick to the Iphone 4S.

                Anonymous, 09 Oct 2012It's not a bug it's a feature - Apple spin doctors hard at work.No spin about it! When taking shots, never point the lens into the sun! It's basic photography knowledge.

                You will get Lens Flare and Chromatic Aberrations when you point *ANY* lens at the sun.

                  AnonD-39337, 09 Oct 2012dude, seriously? iphone5 is the most revolutionary smart... moreAlmost everywhere I see a post similar to Tibet kid, maybe we should also check if iPhone has a subliminal messages when playing their music or even by simply having a call.

                  I don't understand why people think that iPhone is the only hightech gadget in the planet. Obviously there are many brands / models to choose from.

                                    They will be working hard to ensure that white, black, green, red and yellow lens flare are available soon, innovation takes time ... pls let them work and appreciate their efforts :)
