My lenses look fine on my launch day 11 Pro in terms of internal dust. But I’m having a devil of a time keeping the lenses clean on the outside. Every speck of dust seems to just pull out of the atmosphere and cling to the lenses. I’d imagine this attraction gives greater opportunities for dust to work its way inside somehow when they’re assembling the iPhones.
I have an HTC 10 that had a lens like that. I always assumed it lacked an oleophobic coating. Fingerprints and dust would cling to it. I never had that problem with an iPhone lens until now.
Admittedly, I don’t seem to have those little colored lens flares anymore, either. So there is that positive and it may be why the lenses don’t appear to have any coating on them.
But now I have to keep a soft cloth with me or use my shirt tail to clean off my lenses before taking pictures or the photos will often have haze in them from dirty lenses.
And there is always crud around the lenses. That’s a bear to clean off. I vacuum out my pockets and keep the phone pocket in my purse clean but my phone lenses always look grungy around the little rings.
Is anyone else having this problem?
