Apple on iPhone 5 purple flare<br><br>Apple has responded to complaints that some photos taken with the iPhone 5 show a purple flare, saying it happens to many smartphones when they're aimed near a light source like the sun.<br><br>"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," the company wrote in the support section of its website. "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."<br><br>"Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand,tory burch iphone 5s case, should minimize or eliminate the effect," the post said.<br><br>Not surprisingly, some users weren't satisfied with the response.<br><br>"You gotta be kidding me apple. You must be. Now I have to protect the camera with my hand when I want to take a picture?" one user wrote in a thread on Apple's user forums. "When a new iPhone comes out, I always buy it.
