Blue dot on Iphone 5 photos with direct sunlight in them

Question

I do not understand how this is not on EVERY SINGLE forum and website for the iphone 5. I recently purchased a new iphone 5s after struggling with a lot of issues with my 4.  I bought my 5s a week and a half ago and promptly began having tons of server errors, apps crashing, calls failed and on and on.  I also discovered that there was a VERY BRIGHT BLUE dot that showed up on every single phone and video taken that had any amount of direct sunlight in it (say goodbye to beautiful sunset pictures).
I went back into apple and was told to restore, and then completely clear my phone. I did everything they asked and when everything failed and after literally hours and hours on the computer and in person with technicians, I went in for a replacement yesterday. After three hours in the apple store I walked out of the store with what I thought was a perfect new phone.  I went onto the street and took a short video. And you know what--there was a BRIGHT BLUE DOT on the video.  So I went BACK into the apple store for the 10th time.  I spoke to a salesperson and he had no idea what I was talking about.  I showed him the video and he was baffled.  I then picked up the other iphones and began testing them out. Every SINGLE one had this bright blue dot on the image or video when pointed toward sunlight.  Apparently there is something with the new glass of these cameras that cannot handle direct sunlight (which is ridiculous to me). The sales person went and spoke to the Apple Technitions that were "downstairs" and they acknowledged, this is just the way it is, the glass cannot handle direct sunlight.
So, I thought, OK, well, I guess I will have to stop taking photos of sunsets and directly into the sun through cityscapes etc....I will do my very best to make peace with this..However, last night, I was taking photos of some lights at night and a variation of this happened again except with tons of little blue lights flaring of the christmas lights I was taking photos of.
As a videographer and photographer, the new iphone camera was a serious draw and factor in my newest purchase. The fact that EVERY SINGLE ONE of these current phones on the sales floor seem to have the same faulty hardware with their cameras absolutely blows my mind.  What use is fancy glass on a camera if it takes shots with bright blue dots right in the middle of every screen? I would REALLY like to get some feedback from apple on this note because I am hugely dissapointed with this phone and blown away that this issue has not been addressed formally.

Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Photos followed by a sync. This should remove all photos transferred from your Mac to the iPhone. Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos and confirming your selections below followed by a sync.
If no change after this, try targeting or deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache on your computer.
