iOS 17: Wrong status bar color/contrast. (Light status bar on light wallpaper)

The status bar color can be light or dark depending on the wallpaper color. Most of the time, the status bar is light when the wallpaper is dark and vice versa. At least this is the expected behavior as follows:


Light wallpaper, dark status bar:



Unfortunately, I noticed an issue when I set a wallpaper that is light at the top (at the location of the status bar) and dark at the bottom. The status bar remains light which makes it difficult to distinguish the elements. See below:



I would expect the status bar to be dark here.


Is there any way to avoid this to happen?


Thank you.
