This is a screen shot of a video I took. I get that weird blue line once in a while taking videos. Anyone else experience this issue?
 
That's lens flare. All iPhones do it in certain lighting conditions. It's caused by bright sources of light reflecting back on internal lens elements. If a DSLR or film camera lens did that it would be totally unacceptable- a sign of a cheap poorly designed lens, but since smartphone lenses are so small, lots of compromises have to be made.

Thanks. It didn’t happen on my iPhone XS
