Hi Everyone,
I'm just curious, did your iphone 7 make this sort of weird flare if your're pointing your iSight camera to light sources, i knwo it's normal to get flares from light sources but not in this kind of shape. there's nothing in front of my camera, i take the pictures on multiple circumtances, and i've make sure my front camera lens is totally clean. i'm curious it might be a manufacturing defect.
Here's some pic, check it out yourself :)

Is it normal to have those flares when your camera is directly pointing at the light source? My IP7+ doesn't do this. I've also read that this has been happening to the Pixel phones, but in their situations, the light source is not even directly in the shot.

It may be from the phone boosting exposure in low light environments which kind of blows out an intense light source in the same picture?
