Apple describes in a document the correct way to take pictures with the iPhone 5 to avoid the halo effect

  You already know that iPhone 5 has a problem with its camera, you know that if you take pictures in which various light sources appear, there is a possibility on the edges of the picture to see some purple spots, as in the image above. Apple already said that we are not pointing the camera correctly when we take pictures, and now the company has even done so a supporting document on its own website, there explaining to us how one should be kept correctly iPhone 5 to avoid displaying this effect. Basically, Apple tells us that if we encounter such a problem, we should orient the iPhone at different angles until we manage to take the picture without that effect.

Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.

  From my point of view, the attitude of those from Apple is not correct, I don't think that users should be accused of not knowing how to take pictures, when it is quite clear that the problem is with the product. This new support document makes me believe that Apple will refuse to accept the terminals under warranty iPhone 5 only based on this problem, but we will find out more in the future. Having said that, we don't hold the iPhones correctly and this reminds me of the "Steve Jobs era". The good part is that only certain terminals from their first product are affected, so there is little chance that you will buy one with the same problem when the device is officially launched in Romania.
