iPhone 15 Pro max overall big issue - purple pixelated glitch

Today, after 14 days of using, when somebody called, the phone started to do purple pixelated glitch over the screen. After few minutes, it got worse and then became totally unusable. Soft reset didn`t help. Factory reset also - what could be the issue? Phone have never been into water or been dropped/bend in any way (it is not mechanical issue). Everything is laggy. I managed to take a screenshot, where were some pixels missing (in the photo). Also i was able to take a picture with this iPhone and the picture was only red/blue mess (somehow inverted colors).

This is not software! It’s hardware! I had my phone replaced and no issues after I got my second phone

Iphone 15 pro Max is having the same issue. My screenshot was black, but was able to take photos with another phone. I contacted apple support who told me to force restart my phone. It worked fine. Then randomly I saw a little purple glitch, and now it is back to full on purple background, and widgets are glitching purple pixels. I will reach out to apple again but wanted people like me that see this forum know in case they are having similar issues and are wondering if it is just them.
