The purple flare that appears on some iPhone 5 camera shots is perfectly normal, according to Apple.

A Gizmodo reader complained to Apple about the purple fringing that was appearing on his shots, and received a response from AppleCare representative 'Debby', who told him it was perfectly normal behaviour.
"Dear Matt," the response reads. "Our engineering team just gave me this information and we recommend that you angle the camera away from the bright light source when taking pictures. The purple flare in the image provided is considered normal behaviour for the iPhone 5's camera."
Debby then gave her contact details if Matt wanted to follow up the matter.

Here is interesting part

This purple fringing was suspected to be caused by the new sapphire lens cover found in the iPhone 5.

really?! sapphire lens? Is it better than the ruby lens binoculars from Walmart?

My Samsung Galaxy S3 takes really nice pictures- so I guess at least Samsung didn't steal the photo technology from Apple.
