Purple spot on my iphone 5

so why everytime i take a picture there is a purple spot on my camera?

I have had the same issue. I have called Apple Care a bunch of times to report the same issue.  Even though, I can prove without a shadow of a doubt that the problem occurred while my phone was still under the warranty, Apple will NOT honor THEIR manufacturing defect. I am now stuck with a substandard camera (purple splotch on every single picture) unless I choose to spend 260+ dollars to replace the phone. What kind of service is this Apple?  Why don't you fix your camera issues? If this issue is so rare, why isn't it recognized as a malfunction? The phone should be replaced at NO QUESTIONS ASKED due to Apple's manufacturing defect.  I am so angry that Apple is not standing by their product.

  • I have a purple spot on my iPhone 5 camera ?

    I've had my iPhone 5 from September2012 and it was working fine until suddenly I got a purple spot on my camera screen! I thought it was the lens so I cleaned it but it's still there and it's annoying me, anyone else had this problem? The Apple store is far from me so taking it to the store is a hassle.
    Thankssss

    Spots are typically indiciative of debris that has gotten on the lens, in the camera, or between the camera and the lens. Certainly attempt to clean the lens from the outside. If the issue persists, it would point towards an internal issue that would require replacement of the device (Apple Stores do not have the ability to replace the camera itself on the iPhone 5). Under warranty, this is free. Outside of warranty, expect to pay about $270.

  • Warranty on the issue of purple spot in images taken from rear camera?

    My iPhone 5 have purple spot in images taken from rear camera. I just noticed the issue in my phone today.
    I researched online and some people also have the same issue and have their phone replaced in Apple shops.
    I don't have any receipt or store warranty card since it was just given to me as a gift in the Philippines last April 2013, I checked the warranty coverage status (https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do) and it still has repair and service coverage.
    Im now here in Dubai, and my question is that will Apple Premium Reseller shops here in Dubai honor the said warranty and have my iPhone repaired or replaced?

    No.
    The warranty for an iPhone purchased from an official source in the Philippines will be honored in the Philippines only.

  • My macbook has this purple spotting on the sides of the top. It's comparable to a bruise because it's not a surface stain. Any ideas?

    As I said in your original post, iTunes U is not available to any institution, government or otherwise, in South Korea. If or when Apple will extend iTunes U to your country is something none of us here can say, and Apple will not until such time as they're ready to make an announcement. What Apple's criteria and requirements are for being able to open iTunes U in a given country is unknown; there is no "procedure" that any of us here can state or direct you to that you could initiate. It's totally up to Apple, and if they are working on this, I'm sure they know who in the SK government they would need to work with.
    Sorry, but you will just have to wait and hope that something develops in the future.
    Regards.

    When I activate my Personal Hot Spot on my iPhone, the iPhone broadcasts my full name to the world os my network name.  How do I change the network name to something other than my name?

  • TS1398 my Ipad 2 will work on wi-fi when I set up a hot spot on my iPhone but not the wireless in my house.  My iPhone, my wife's iPhone and iPad all work on the home wi-fi.  Just not my iPad.

    My iPad2 will not work on my home wi-fi.  My iPhone, my wife's iPhone and iPad all work just not my iPad.  It will however work when I set up a hot spot on my iPhone.  Any ideas?

    Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds.
    On your iPad use Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings
    If you need more help please give the make, model and version of the WiFi router that you are using.
    Does your router have the latest firmware from the manufacturer installed?
    What IOS levels are in use on your various iDevices?

  • Iphone 5 small purple spot when using back camera, not showing in video mode

    Hi all,
    Had taken some pictures this week in the street and wasn't noticing anything major. Tonight I needed to take some pictures here at home and I noticed on one picture a smallish weird spot. Went back to the place I took it to make sure it wasn't there (on the floor) but it wasn't.
    I then proceeded with using the camera and I can see the spot stays there wherever I move with it. When I zoom, the spot zooms away with it making it possible for a clear picture. When I put the video mode on, there's no spot whatsoever. When I use the front camera, there is no spot as well.
    As it doesn't show up in video mode, I'm assuming it has nothing to do with the lens but maybe more software/hardware or iOS related, or am I wrong?
    Is there anything to be done about this? From what I found online people said to turn off the phone and back on, tried it to no avail.
    Can always take it back to the shop but I'm assuming this will make it be sent back to apple repair centers etc. so it might take a while to get it back for a relatively simple issue, nothing that can be done any other way?

    I have the same issue - perhaps not exact but extremely similar.  In photo mode, there is a small purplish speck, which I initially thought as dust or something, and of course it ends of in photos taken.  However, this speck is not present in video mode, meaning there is no dust, but some sort of artifact on the photo processor or something.  Either way, itsa product defect - I plan on seeing if Apple will support this and replace thephone.....

  • Yellow Spot on my iPhone 5 Screen

    Hi I know the iPhone 4 had a major problem with Yellow spots and streaks on the screen, well I have one on my iPhone 5. I've had the phone for around a month now, I didn't notice the yellow streak which is on the top right side, untill the phone got really hot one day when using it for a long time on 3G. I't fades when the phone gets colder. for the iPhone 4 issue the solution was that it was because of the glue they used on the phone not drying out, and to leave it and it will go away...well after a month it hasn't gone away. Is anyone else seeing this? I'm about to call my providor and see if I can get a replacement before it's too late.

    I, too, have the same problem.
    Worse still... this phone is a replacement for my iPhone 4 which had a growing, yellow spot along the same, right-side edge. That phone (the 4) got so bad that it turned purple toward the outter edges of the yellow spot - about the size of my thumb and began losing touch-sensitivity.
    This new replacement is developing the problem sooner, though. I'm concerned that if it follows suit from the previous phone - it'll become unusable while I'm still in my 2 year AT&T contract.
    I'll have to see, very soon, if there's any solution to be found in my remaining Apple Care time. I was assured the 5 couldn't suffer the same fate but, then again, I could barely get the Apple lad to acknowledge this was even a known issue... despite the forums being replete with instances of it, the major tech-blogs reporting it, etc.
    It gets markedly worse when running for a few minutes (ie. surfing, reading Flipboard, etc.). About five minutes of the screen being on it shows fairly visible yellow. Several minutes and it becomes obvious even when viewing a yellow-page in Notes-app.
    I'm concerned even for a replacement of the replacement. I hope my luck grants me a little something this time around. I love the 5 too much but if I need to go non-Apple to survive with a working phone - then so be it.

  • What should I do about 'rainbow spots' on my Iphone screen? Newton Rings?

    I have noticed rainbow spots on my three-day-old Iphone 5C. From the front, they look small and minor, but when it is tilted, they appear larger. Should I bring them back to the store and get ask for assistance, or is there something I can do from home with little knowledge of the phone? I first noticed them yesterday and I have had the phone under sunlight. Should I just not bother and leave the dots there?
    I can't find a good picture online, but they look like the little oil-on-water spots you see on the sidewalk sometimes. It won't show very well on camera.
    Thanks for your help!

    Bring the phone back for evaluation.

  • Black spot on the iphone 5S

    Hi, i've got almost one moth ago the iphone 5s, and has a black spot on the right side. i dont know what could be, so if someone has the same problem, could help me!?

    If this is damage from misuse it is not covered. Otherwise it is covered. It does not matter the Apple Store vs other store for purchase location, the 1 year Warranty is identical. Next time you go to Apple Store ask to see the store manager.

  • HT201401 There is a dark spot in my iphone camera. My camera used to be clear, but about a few month ago it has changed by this dark spot. It's very annoying. Please, tell me how to fix it.

    Please help
    My iphone camera got a dark spot. Im really sure that this happen to my cam not a screen.
    A dark spot is very annoying when I want to take a picture.
    I have tried to clean and looked for the way to fix it, but its not work.
    If your iphone used to be like mine and you can fixed it, then teach me please.
    I really need some help.

    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • AT&T hot spots (WiFi) and iPhones

    Supposedly ATT DSL subscribers of 3GB can get free hot spots access nationwide. What about iPhones, do you get access as well?

    Your report is correct in that this service is offered to AT&T DSL subscribers. It is not currently offered to at&t, nee Cingular, cellular subscribers, including those with iPhone plans. You're talking here about distinctly different business units.
    If you want such services, call or write at&t and express your interest.
