Apple device really is holier-than-thou.
It shouldn't be common for a new phone to come with glitches, but it is.
The Lumia 800 had battery problems (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/nokia-admits-lumia-800-battery-problems/016549), and the Galaxy Nexus had sporadic earpiece volume variations. (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/samsung-admits-galaxy-nexus-glitch/016283)
Of course, Apple is renowned for faults, demonstrated with the signal failure on the iPhone 4 and Siri unlocking 4Ss to unauthorised users. (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/me-can-i-use-some-else-s-locked-iphone-siri-be-my-guest/015910)
Now, CultOfMac (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/me-can-i-use-some-else-s-locked-iphone-siri-be-my-guest/015910) reports an error on the iPhone 5 camera, despite a revamped 8MP design that comes 25 per cent smaller than its predecessor.
Users have taken to forums to complain of a 'purple halo' effect, which causes an unavoidable lilac flare to splash across the photo when a bright light is in the frame.
The common belief is that the halo is caused by light refracting off of the camera's Sapphire lens cover – a new feature that wasn't used on previous devices.
