Can Any iPhone 6 Owners Test Their Camera For Pink Hue Issue

    I've discovered this issue on my new iPhone 6 when taking pics of anything that's solid black or solid white.
    There's a pink hue coming from the centre of the pic when I take a shot in certain lighting conditions.

    I had this problem before on my xperia z3 compact, seems as its a common problem with those. And I know that Sony provide the camera for the iPhone 6, so I'm hoping that I don't have another dud.

    Can anyone test their own iPhone 6's and see if they have this pink hue.
    I've attached some pics to see what I'm talking about.

    Had a quick look around (unable to post links) and seems there is an issue for some iPhone 6/6 plus users.

    On Tom's guide they say it's software related.

    I've noticed no such issues on my 6 plus.

    You could try using Camera+ and manually adjust the white balance. Hardly ideal, but would work in the meantime.

    I've seen the Tom's Guide article, just wondering if anyone here had noticed the problem.
    I've never noticed this before on any of my past iPhone's since I first got the iPhone 3G years ago, 3GS, iPhone 4, 4S...
    I'm hoping that it's not Sony and their lens problem again...

    Have you tried testing your 6 plus under different lighting conditions?
    Sometimes it looks fine on mine, then there's the problem when I have the house lights on at night and try and take a pic then.

    Ah yeah I've used the camera a good bit. No issue with any kind of hue thankfully.

    I sometimes get a strange hue when I shoot against a dark background.

    No issue here.

    iPhone 6 bought last September.

    Nice one, that looks fine, no issues.
    Could you try it in different lighting conditions and see if it's still ok?

    My pics looked ok in daylight, but when I had the lights on at home in the evening and tried to take the same pic, that's when the issue was there.

    This was taken at home with the lights on.

    Just tried my mates iPhone 6 here at home earlier and he had the same pink hue issue as me.

    Just took another comparison shot now, the pic with the pink hue is happening when the main lights are on and the other pic with no pink hue is when the main house lights are off and just the lamp is on. See the difference?

    Could be something with the type of bulb?

    Don't know what it is? I've had every iPhone since the 3G and never had this problem before when taking pictures with its camera.

    I got the phone replaced anyway and it still has the same problem, that's 3 phones I've tested that have this issue.

    A few others on the Apple support forum are having the same problem too...

    Hopefully people can contact Apple about this and make them aware of it.
