iPhone 12 Max Pro Microphone not working

I have a 4 day old iPhone 12 max pro, when using face time or messenger video call the microphone will not work, as in the person your calling has no sound . If I plug in my headphones then they can here me . Also when I record a video the microphone works fine . Just not on any video chats . I’ve updated the phone to 14.3 . Also reset the phone and removed the messenger app and re installed it . Still no joy .. is it an app issues or a phone issue ? Please help

I have the same issue. Microphone stops working intermittently (person on the other side can't hear me for a fraction of a second) for all calls: whatsapp, facetime, or normal calls. Went to the nearby Apple store (I'm in Sydney, Australia) and they said they can't replace the phone, but can replace the phone components except the screen/body (found that weird). Apple web support has agreed for a replacement but not sure if I should go for it as I would end up getting a refurbished phone.
