i have weird reflections and lens glare while taking pic in low light( almost unnoticeable on galaxy s20+) I contacted apple and they say it's normal! Do these pics look normal to you?

If this is your first phone to have Night Mode photography, you will soon learn, this is completely normal. You can avoid them easily as flares can be clearly seen on your screen before you take the photo. Simply altering the angle of the phone (camera) relative to the scene can easily fix a lot of the flares.

Here are two photos I took to illustrate this as well. I didn't move my location for the second photo. I altered the angle of camera relative to the scene:

I just brought an iphone pro max 12 a week ago and disappointed in the night shots. I try to adjust the picture but still get dots ghosting and reflection in night pictures for a very expensive phone very disappointing.I came back after 5 years to Iphone from being with Google pixel, they have no issues with night pictures and this is disappointing i feel like returning my phone because i love taking pictures and videos in low light night..
