More and more people have been reporting an issue with purple haze on the new iPhone 5 camera. Whilst this camera has only been moderately improved with the new iPhone 5, this issue has been causing problems for many. Apple initially claimed that users were holding their devices incorrectly when taking pictures but this doesn't seem to be the case.
Case makers have attempted to amend the issued and the CamHoodie did a pretty good job of removing the purple mist. The App Store developers are now trying their hand at sorting the problem too. This comes in the form of the Camera Fix which is a cheap solution for those looking to reduce the appearance of this purple haze when pictures are taken at a certain angle. This little fix costs $0.99 at the App Store and claims to be the first app to solve the purple mist problem on photos.
Now what we do have to point out is that this App doesn't actually fix the root cause of the purple haze problem but instead it tries to make your pictures look as those they haven't been affected by the haze. This does mean that the coloring of your pictures can sometimes be quite a bit off, but I suppose you could say, that it does what it says it will do.
Apple has pointed out that the issue is for the most part unavoidable and most people will just have to live with it. They have said that users should try not to take shots into or angled towards bright light. It is the light that reflects off your iPhone's camera modules and causes this dusty layer. You will need to practice a little bit of trial and error to see what the best position for taking your photos is.
Still, to sum up, what we can say is that Camera Fix does a reasonable job and is available at just $0.99 from the App Store if the purple haze is getting too much for you to bare.
