Dark spot/Artifact in camera app and photos?

Hi Folks,
I noticed this spot that shows up in my camera app and in pictures taken with a light background. I attached a sample pic.
I checked the lens and it's clean. I also cleaned it again and it doesn't make a difference. I don't remember this prior to iOS 8.3, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there before. Maybe I just never noticed it?
Has anyone had this issue? Could it be software related or is it simply hardware related? Maybe dust? Any help or thoughts would be appeciated.
I'm still under warranty. Everything else is perfect with the phone.
Thanks!
iPhone 6 Plus
iOS 8.3

I have not had to use their warranty service but you could start by reporting it here: https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action
I think they have a pretty quick turnaround with servicing. You will need to backup your iPhone because your device will be wiped/replaced. You can restore from backup once you get your repaired/new iPhone.
GIve Apple support a call, they may have a fix or be able to rule out any other cause & that is is actually a hardware issue & not software related.
Good Luck!
Thanks again, jazcan!
I contacted Apple support and they set up a return for service. It was very simple. Like you said, it appears to be hardware related.
What I thought was cool, they are able to diagnose your phone remotely. It even tells them whether it's been wet or dropped. That is unreal and very cool! My phone is pristine shape, so it passed just fine. I'll be without a phone for a few days, but it will be well worth it.
After I receive the phone, I'll update the thread.

IPhone 3GS Camera App and Photo App Not Opening

Hi, my iPhone 3GS Camera Application and the Photo Application (Base Apple Photo-related apps "Photos", "Camera") will not open. When I tap either of them, it takes me back to the Home Screen and for a brief moment says "Library Updating", I have been waiting over a day for this to work and it still wont open.
If more information is required please specify what areas are needed below.
Thanks,
Datzy.

ok seems you have to do a restore...but in the process your photos might be not backed up so i suggest you download this
http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrowser/downloads/detail?name=SetupiPhoneBrowser. 1.93.exe
(windows) and browse for the photos and keep it some place else...

My camera app and photo library

When i open camera rebuilding and close
my photo library also the same

Photos in the Camera Roll include photos captured by your iPhone and any photos saved from a received email, from a received MMS, or from a website. Photos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera, which is not handled by iTunes.
Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone (which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes) are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library. If you transfer albums and/or events from iPhoto for example, the photos in the albums or events below Photo Library are not duplicated. They include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library.
To not transfer any photos from your computer to your iPhone, deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Select Apply followed by a sync. This will remove all photos from your iPhone that you selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

Did the ios 8.3 update now i can tview photos from the camera app and the photos wont save to my photos app.

I just did the new ios 8.3 update for my iPhone. I've been trying to take pictures from the camera app and it wont allow me to click on the picture to view it and none of the new photos are saving to my photos app or if you send a picture through text it doesn't save the original to the photo app either. is this a problem with the new version of ios or have a maybe selected something to not allow me to add more photos? I only have 400 photos saved on my phone so its not a fact of not having enough space. any help would be greatly appreciated

Camera Roll is not the same in Camera app vs Photos app ???

iPhone 4S issue...
I just got a new iPhone 4S. Restored from a 3GS backup.
I noticed yesterday that some of the photos that I took with the built-in Camera app aren't showing in the Camera Roll. Specifically, the last 3 pictures that I took plus a couple three other older ones. But it only happens when I view the Camera Roll through the Camera app. Using the Photos app I can see all the photos I've taken.
- When viewed from the Photos app, the "Albums" list says "Camera Roll (254)" and all photos show up.
- When I open the Camera app and click on the picture thumbnail in the bottom left and it opens the Camera Roll it says "248 of 248" at the top of the screen and I can't see my last three photos plus a couple more other older ones. They're not in the thumbnail index and I can't swipe to them from the individual photo display. Again, this is when viewing the Roll from the Camera app.
- I have no other Albums but "Camera Roll". None of the photos have been edited either.
I called Apple support and they instructed me to reboot my iPhone. This didn't change much except now the last "missing" photo shows up as the small thumbnail in the lower left of the Camera screen. But when I click to view the Camera Roll, it's still nowhere to be found (along with the other "missing" ones). The Photos app still shows all of them just fine.
What the heck is going on? It sounds like a bug to me... the Camera app and the Photos app should be pulling the same data, right?
Apple support suggested that I connect it to my Mac and do a Restore. Even if this works, it doesn't give me much confidence that it won't happen again as it seems like a bug. Should I report it?
Ben

im also having a problem on my iPhone 4 that just started today, about 100 or so photos and videos just completely disappeared.. basically it shows the last 4-5 photos that i took, and then the first 50 or so.. everything in between is gone.
when i view from the camera vs the photos app the last 4-5 differ.. so who knows *** is going on...
but if you download a program called iExplorer you can view and download everything, as all the files are still there

I didn't sync my new iPhone 5 to a computer before using it, now that I want to it says I have to delete everything, does it mean just my music or apps and photos too?

After using my new iPhone 5 for a few months I tried to sync it to my computer but it said I had to wipe it first, I don't know if it means everything or just the music. Half of my music transferred to my iTunes library and the other half I can get through iCloud so it's the apps and photos I'm worried about. Will they be wiped too? If so, how do I transfer the photos I took before activating photo stream onto my photo stream? I'm going away on vacation tonight so please answer ASAP! Any help appreciated, thank you!!

The iPhone will only sync potentially copyrighted information from one computer, music, movies, and photos (synced to the iPhone from a computer). It will not delete the photos you have taken on the iPhone, which are in the Camera Roll.
To sync everything to your computer, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
See this for help setting up iCloud -> Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
Have fun on your vacation!

TS1702 how can I delete camera app and reload?

I don't want to have to restore my phone just to reload the camera app. for some reason the app opens to blank screen. if I use the slide to camera, it works properly but that feature doesn't have the option to forward, send, etc photos. anyone got a solution as to how I can delete the camera app and reload it?

You can't delete any of the pre-installed apps. Try a reset:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
If that doesn't change things, a restore from backup is the next step.

IPhone 3gs keeps crashing when using camera app and Facebook

My iPhone 3Gs is on its last legs, has been for a while, but I can't afford to upgrade just yet.
It keeps switching off, screen fades to black, when I use both the camera app and Facebook. I then have to reboot. It's not a battery issue, as it happens regardless of whether there's 90% or 9% battery life left, but just seems to happen randomly.
Today, it crashed when I pressed the shutter 'button' to take a photo, yesterday it was while I was selecting a focus point. Really frustrating, as I use the camera a lot. Facebook crashes the phone randomly, too.
This morning, I hung up on a call, then the phone died.
It's running ios5 now but has been doing it for a few months on previous versions of ios, too.
I've tried restoring to factory settings, but that has done nothing.
Any help you can give, much appreciated, thanks!

its not your phone bud im having the same problem to keeps crashing and i know its not that the phone is old unless you call 2days old as got it from apple store buch st glasgow on the 14th dec 2011 its an ios issue im sure as my last 1 updated to ios 5 and it wouldnt read sims no longer after speaking to apple they agreed to replace my handset as they are aware that the ios is frying some 3gs model mines was left a brick ie paper weight so if mines is crashing ect i cant even use the camera as it sticks then switches off apple need to sort this ios 5 out

Since iso8.2 update camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my iPad

Since the ISO8.2 update the camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my photos app on my iPad 2 anyone else suffered the same problem and how do I get them back?

Hey carolfromdaventry,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides some great information any questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8:
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6464
Where can I find the Camera Roll?
The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
Thanks,
Matt M.

What's the difference between "photo stream", 'camera roll' and 'photos' ?

I can't download the new update because I don't have enough storage. I bought more storage but my camera roll is 6.2 GB. Photo stream is 323 MB. Can someone please explain the difference between photo stream, camera roll, and photos. Thanks.

Photo Stream is a feature of iCloud;
http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
The Camera Roll is an album on the iPad with any photos that you transfer from a camera or memory card using the Camera Connection Kit to the iPad or any screen shots that you take with the iPad or any photos that you take with the cameras on an iPad 2, as opposed to any albums that you have synced to the iPad from your computer using the iTunes app. The Camera Roll comes and goes as needed. If you have no photos that would go into the Camera Rol, it disappears, and returns when it is needed.
iPhoto is an Apple photo app for the Mac computer. It is part of the iLife suite of Mac apps;

If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?

If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?

All iTunes content on your iPhone will be removed first.
Unless you transfer photos from another computer when doing so, the photos transferred from the other computer will not be touched.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not part of and not touched with the iTunes sync process.

If I download and update my iphone 3G will I loose all my music, apps, and photos?

If you deleted them from both PhotoStream and the camera roll, and you don't otherwise have them backed up, they're gone.

I upgraded to IOS8 and my camera roll and photo stream are gone

I upgraded to IOS8 and my camera roll and photo stream disappeared. I have 7500 pictures in my camera roll... I see some of them sorted into "collections"... this is not how I would ever sort or collect my photos.. work documents, mixed with family photos, mixed with selfies my son took with the dog? please please please tell me there is a way to get my old camera roll back. This update is a disaster for iPhone photo users... Is photo stream gone as well?

This has been asked and answered DOZENS of times on here since last week. Please search the forum and you will definitely find your answer.
