Little plus + marks show up in photos (iPhone 4S)

[SchneiderMan]

Well I took a few pics using the iPhone 4S and there are little + marks in the photos. Does anyone know why? I also checked a few other pics shot with the iPhone 4S on Flickr and they have little marks too. My iPhone 4 does not have this issue though.

shoot a piece of white paper, then without moving the phone, move the paper left or right and shoot again. check the photos. if the plus marks don't move, it's a sensor issue. if they do move, it's just compression artifacts in the jpeg.

Could possibly be a dead pixel or defect on the image sensor?

The + mark on the first pic isn't mine, the rest are though. You guys need to look deep. Check your original files on your computer. So far I confirmed with a few people.

do you have HDR mode on?

Where are the + marks? I'm not even seeing them in the attached photos... unless you're talking about the grid pattern in the yellow/red area, in which case that's just some halftone printing being revealed.

One is underneath and to the right of the 'I' in the OP. It's a thin black +

Got it. I see it in both of them now. Interesting.
