iPhone 17 Pro Max Red lens flare blur?

[MatthewBB91]

Has anyone else noticed a red blur in the middle of their photos on the new iPhones? I’m using an iPhone 17 Pro Max. I can only see it when I’m taking photos of clothes to sell. The 2nd photo is edited to show it more. The first photo is the original. And it’s only really visible when taking photos of black clothing items. I took a close up photo of my black Xbox controller and I couldn’t see it. Is this normal or is my camera messed up? I’m so confused.

Update: Apple want me to take it to the Apple Store however I feel like all the phones will be like this.

I just noticed today, was taking some work photos and lens flare and blur "like smudged lens" on x1 x4 x8 lenses... no issues with my old 13 pro..... I'm really disappointed, thinking of sending back and stick with old phone.....

Other thing I was looking forward to on new phone was anti reflective screen I was hearing about, but after getting they didn't do it due to production issues

It seems like it’s a normal issue. I’ve found a few people notice it on Reddit over the past few years. And funny enough it happens a lot with black clothing. People think it’s the camera picking up infrared maybe.
