BIRMINGHAM - AL -
Apple is dealing with a few problems with the iPhone 5:
Some users say pictures taken with the phone have a purple discoloration in bright spots. Apple says this is normal, and is because of the type of glass used in the camera's lens. It advises not pointing the camera at anything bright.
Some users report the phone going through lots of cell data- even when connected by wifi. It's happened mainly on Verizon, but some AT&T users have also reported the problem. An update to the phone's carrier settings can fix the issue.
The biggest problem remains with the Maps app. The root of the problem isn't so much the app itself, but the data it uses. Apple got the data form a variety of sources, and hasn't quite got it all meshed together. The solution may just be time. Apple says it's working on ironing out the data issues.
