Article: iPhone 4 camera rendered 'useless' by mysterious fault

    Seriously though. It's a camera on a phone. It's for taking incidental photos, not for shooting masterpieces. I fail to see how problems in the colours make the photos "useless". They're still photos aren't they? If I was concerned about high-quality pictures I'd buy a camera.

    Many people do not buy cameras. Mobile phones have put cameras into peoples pockets plus the quality has been increasing over the years. The majority of people could not take a decent picture with an expensive high pixel camera so a mobile phone camera is more than adequate for 'snaps'. A 5MP camera that the iphone has should take good snaps.

    Even looking at the Apple site for the iPhone 4, three out of five key features listed require camera use. A 4th feature is the display which tells us how good images (of any source) will look. Clearly Apple don't see the camera as incidental.

    You're right, the camera itself isn't incidental. The pictures are. The only people who would notice or would care about a slight blue tinge in the middle of photos are the kind of people who will have a better quality camera anyway.

    This does seem to be a camera problem rather than an iPhone one. It might be an as-yet undocumented issue with all camera phones - we've never had lenses so small with a resolution so high before. So it could be a combination of these along with the florescent light that gives an optical effect we've just never seen before - as opposed to being a flaw in the camera.
