Blurry and foggy camera on iPhone 17 Pro Max

So whenever I take a photo on my iPhone the camera starts to blur and fog up causing the photo to have bad quality. I just recently bought the new iPhone 17 pro max I and I’m not so very happy with my purchase!!! 😭😭😭

If you're within 14 days of purchase, return it and buy a new one. If you're past 14 days, make arrangements to have Apple evaulate it for service.
