Smudge UNDER main camera lens glass of iPhone 14 Pro?

Hi members. Could you please check the attached image & see if this is really a smudge UNDER the main camera lens of my iPhone 14 Pro? Is it really a smudge under the glass? Or is there some coating on the glass which has weared off? Is there any solution to this? Has anyone experienced it? Please let me know as this ruins the look of the phone. As yet, I do not see any hindrance in the regular camera functions.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

Yes - its still there - irrespective if case is on or not.

Sorry, I didn't see you had replied. If it is still there, case or not, and the smudge won't wipe off then its internal. Your only solution would be to take the phone to either an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider in your region and have it looked at. Find Locations - Apple

It wipes off wen i clean with cloth but wen i touch the lens it comes again i dont knw its defect or its a nature

If the smudge is not effecting your photos then you have a choice to either leave it as is or have it examined. When it's examined they will determine if anything what needs to be done. That is something we here as other Apple users such as yourself can't determine over the internet whether its a defect or not. To determine that it needs to be examined.
