I'm not going to argue with you here. Lens Flare is normal, whether you'd like to agree or not. There are so many threads on this and photos from Samsung to Google to just about every other high end phone camera system shows Lens Flare.


If you think your phone is defective, feel free to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar, but they are going to tell you there is nothing wrong with your iPhone.

I am not sure about other phones. Please see same photo taken in same angle in my iPhone and Normal phone

My other phone photo:


I don’t think this is a normal issue and I am surprised to know that Apple does not have a solution to avoid this issue in an iPhone. I been using iPhone for past 6 years and did not had any problem like this.


I do agree this can happen once in while because of Camera angles. But not regularly in all photos.


I read that Manufactures such as canon, Nikon and others uses Anti glare lenses to avoid this issue.


May be I will show it to a apple care representative and ask for a solution.

This is normal for cell phone cameras, from Samsung, to Google and so on. It's normal for DSLR cameras from Nikon and Canon. It's normal for very expensive camera systems from Hasselblad. It's normal, period. You can go out to all manners of forums and see user complaints of Lens Flare on Samsung Phones.


The lens flare you see in the photo you showed, was clearly on your iPhone screen before you took the photo. You just didn't notice it until you took the photo and had more time to look at the photo you'd taken. Be aware of lens flare when taking night mode photos and try to re-angle the camera and you'll see the flares move and angled well, disappear.
