What more do you need. Even if 100 people have the problem you still do and should take it to apple.
i had a speck of dust under the camera lens and brought it to apple. they had it cleaned out within 5 minutes. bring it to them to see if its dust of a smudge on the lens. if they cant clean it out, they will replace it.
Doubt that very much.
Why don't you take the backplate off and see if there is any dust on the lens or smudges on the inside?
Eh? hahha. He has a 5.
Anyways, I just sent my phone in for the SAME issue, although mine was 2 specs, not a ****ing platoon
. You will get it replaced
Well I had a custom case made out of 1" thick 24K gold and it is permanently attached to the iphone. My home button is a bit pushy. I have to kinda push it for it to do anything-needs replacement. Should I wait until gold goes up a bit so Apple has to reimburse me more or go in now and take my hit as it's at $1729/OZ?
Spigen AND Ghost Armor have pretty decent CS.
Contact them and see if they can send you a replacement. Let them know your situation and you might get lucky.

I have had my iPhone 5 since launch day and just a couple of days ago 2 purple spots, exactly like the one in your photo appeared on the camera. I brought it in today and they replaced the phone with a new one no questions asked. A quick google of this issue reveals many with the same issue and for sake of comparison I have had my last two phones, the iPhone 4 and 3G each for 2 years and NEVER got anything under the lens so obviously there is a design issue OR quality control during construction issue.
And I have them too
Well here we are - I was taking pictures of two birds that were very high up in the sky - I got them (one looks like a black capped chickadee) as you can see the two small specs in the bottom center of the picture are birds but it also showed the problem that stucks out like a sore thumb - large dark somewhat circular smudges:

I carefully cleaned the lens with a microfiber cloth but the problem persists:

I guess I'll have to head to Apple for this one. I use the camera a lot.
