iOS 17 wallpapers blurry at top

Hi I updated to iOS 17 yesterday and my wallpapers are getting blurred on the top, my wallpapers from the top seem to be fine yet but I found beautiful new wallpapers and it’s ruined because of the top blur. My phone is an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

I have a solution! Go into photos and find the photo you want as your wallpaper. Click the three dots in the upper right hand corner and select duplicate. This way you have the original picture and the one you will use for your wallpaper. Select crop and click on the premade sizes. One of them is called wallpaper. Pick that one and adjust the picture so it’s centered the way you want it. Now when you go into settings, select that cropped photo as your wallpaper. No blurring!

I took a photo under the Eiffel Tower but it blurred the tower, its the best part of photo. The wallpaper remain people and people and peoples. I go and asked Genius in genius bar in apple store but they become idiot after they saw my photos. The one and only one thing genius can do is give me a feedback link ask me to ask their company to improve their product.... This link I tried several times before in others problem but definitely useless, no reply, no improve, no help.


And here is the link: Product Feedback - Apple

This is why I use a photo as my lock screen photo, which cannot interfere with the controls or get blurred. This is my current one (though I have edited it using Markup to include language on how to reach me if someone found my phone). And the black back makes everything else pop on my screen PLUS make the Dynamic Island, pretty much invisible!
