[CNET]Forget iPhone purple haze, now there's the green glow

post #1 of 115

The iPhone 5 appears doomed to suffer from glitches involving different colors.
Following the "purple haze" issue found in some iPhone 5-shot photos, some users are now complaining of a "green glow" found on the display. The green glow is described as appearing on the edge of the screen like plasma bleed, and occurs when the phone is woken out of sleep mode. The Guardian was the first to point this out, citing complaints from a number of different forums.

The green glow supposedly appears for just a split second, but some users complained that the issue was getting worse with time. Users on the forum have noted that Apple will replace iPhone 5 units that show the problem, although some have been turned away because they couldn't consistently replicate the glow.

I don't understand why people dislike Apple; I mean, look at their map program. It gave away the location of 14 secret Allies bases. biggrin.gif

All phones have their problems. I'll freely admit that I'm an Android fanboy, but it's unfair to keep attacking the iPhone 5 like it's the Devil because it experiences the same glitches that other new phones have.

What other phones have green glows, purple hazes, death grip, etc?
I think it's just very easy to pick on Apple and I don't blame anyone to do so because they patent troll and think that other people stole their invention (Steve Jobs for example)

Theres issues with any release, I thought people would now this?

Especially with Apple scrambling suppliers at the moment how was this not expected in the least?

Dont get me wrong, I dislike apple as well but its not like their immune to mistakes

Whenever I wake my iPhone there is a split second where a green glow around the edge of the screen is visible. It's a bit like light leakage but its green and only appears for a fraction of a second after you turn on the screen. It is also sometimes activated by using the slide to unlock, which makes it glow brighter.

How is this news?

People are being way too critical, it's just a phone...
