HardMac reports that some users experiencing white balance issues with their iPhone 4 camera. Pictures taken with the new device display white as yellow. This might be an issue that can be fixed with a software update. “The problem would be linked to a white balance problem that could be solved through the software. We don’t know how many devices do have the problem,” the report says. According to the report the issue might be related to the fact that the new camera sensors are placed on the back of the plate. “Instead of placing the sensors on the plate of silicon so they are directly hit by the light, those sensors are on the back. The plate is then thinned down so light can go through. We still ignore the advantages of such a technique but we were told that it would result in a lesser sensitiveness and that parasites could appear when pictures are taken when light is dim,” the report says.
iPhone 4 launched on June 24 and there are quite a few issues reported. Reception, proximity sensor, screen, volume buttons, overheat are some of the few issues reported. While most of these are not affecting a lot of customers, the reception issue remains a big problem for Apple, especially if it turn out it is a design flaw.
