This is a totally random question, but when using the flashlight in Control Center on a 5s, which flash does it use? I don't have one yet, and was just wondering this...
 
Both, although the upper white flash is much brighter (so actually the fact theres light on the lower orange one might be because it's leaking from the white one?). Either way, it's very bright! And yup, spots in my vision too now.
 
I kind of think that it is only the white one, but because it is so bright it bleeds to the amber one. I held a piece of paper directly over the white LED bulb and the amber one was not on, but the white was so bright it appeared it was actually on.

I also speculate this because when used next to an iPhone 4S/5, the flashlight is not much brighter.
