dead pixel in iphone 5 camera?

elfxmilhouse · Oct 1, 2012, 08:11 PM

I've noticed a purple spot in my iphone photos.
Anyone else have a similar problem?

you can see it on the left edge near the top

I only see it after the picture has been taken. During the live preview of the image it's not visible.

This happens to me too!

That seems really odd, will have to test that out when I get my 5

I don't have that. And it looks like some kind of chip in the lens. Definitely not normal, make a genius appointment.

Agreed. Gotta be a manufacturing defect or damage. Get it replaced.

I don't think you know what a dead pixel is.

I have just noticed the same problem!!
So irritating. Has anyone taken their phone into the shop yet?

I had the exact same issue with my first iPhone 5. Had it replaced with a new one.
