iPhone 15 Pro Max Photos Blurry

I’ve gone from a 13 pro max to a 15 pro max. Used my 13 for taking photos at gigs / concerts. Fast moving low light. Always used live mode and used to get some pretty good, in focus shots. Was excited to start using my 15, but the photos are appallingly bad. So blurry, even in good light with the subject relatively still. When zoomed in the resolution is so bad all of the detail is lost and it looks worse than some photos I used to get from my old Nokia 95 decades ago. Also the sound quality on videos is nowhere near as good. Sounds very dull and tinny compared to 13 pro max. So disappointed. Considering returning it and going back to 13.

Update: The only thing that fully fixed it is doing an express exchange and getting a new device. Something was definitely wrong with the first device. Photos on new device look great

You can, however it depends on where you bought the phone from if it’s Apple online they re going to tell you to contact them and then run a diagnostic test to which no fault appears in the hardware, and because ur phone is within 14 day period all they can do is take the phone back and replace it and if your lucky and there is stock available they might replace it at the Apple Store but because demand is so high you are likely going to wait 4-6 weeks for a brand new phone to which there is a chance the camera problem might happen still. This is why I took decision to return it and wait a few months until problem is solved then get the phone when demand wouldn’t be so high and might get it for a lower price somewhere with some deals.
