Hello guys, I just noticed that something might be wrong with my iPhone 7 quad-led flash. I started noticing this at first when I thought that I haven't really seen the yellowish tint at all when using the flash. So the problem I am having is this :
when I launch the flashlight at max (or taking photos) I see that the BOTTOM LED lamps are not active. There is light, but the light itself must be coming from the TOP LED's because I can clearly see the TOP LED lamps being activated clearly. Can someone else please check if they have this on their iPhone so I can decide whether or not to send it back for repair. Thanks!
 
Aren't some of the LEDs only supposed to activate when you actually take a picture?

I don't have a 7 (I have a 6s+) but that's how my LEDs work. The bottom one never comes on when it's just the flashlight.
