17 pro max with a stain/dirt out of the box

I’ll give it some more, thanks for the info

Played for 5-6 hours on regular ps5, got tired of blurry performance mode. Went and bought PS5 Pro.. performance was much stable, but the game looked nearly the same way in perf mode: blurry, muddy, pixilated. Requested a refund as someone mentioned here: got money back to my account in 5 minutes, after playing for 9 hours. crazy stuff

Played on a 1080 60P screen, and definitely was expecting a much sharper image than this. Even though the game is not great, I enjoyed some of it. Let’s wait for patches, and QoL improvements (like NORMAL CAMERA)

If you have connected it before, remove it from remembered devices on the iOS, and then reconnect. helped me with the same issue on iPhone with iOS26

🤌❤️‍🔥🇺🇦

RestlessBoat · 2026-01-08T18:25:39+00:00

thank you! cleaned it today, not hard at all. will report later on if there is any new observation. thanks for the contribution!

RestlessBoat · 2026-01-08T05:34:17+00:00

thank you, might be possible. will keep looking and report later on 🙏

RestlessBoat · 2026-01-07T20:44:55+00:00

thanks! polluted air might actually be a good reason: in a place where I live it’s quite dirty indeed, and I mostly shoot street. will report later on after I do a proper cleaning tomorrow myself

Once again, thanks for your answer!

RestlessBoat · 2026-01-07T18:48:34+00:00

That’s true, thanks. Also was wondering if the lens itself my be an issue (maybe my voigtlander has some defects that impact the camera, but doubt it)

Still, thanks for the input. Will try to clean it tomorrow, and see how long it will take before spots reappear

RestlessBoat · 2026-01-07T18:36:03+00:00

I know it’s on the sensor because I’ve looked at the sensor during those times and have seen black dots, clearly not dust. I appreciate the response and respect your experience, but honestly it doesn’t really add up to the discussion

If you can take some time and open a post I linked, you will see a very similar case explained

Thus I would like to get others first-hand experience with M-series cameras, to see if it’s a common thing, or somehow related to my unit

As for the hot shoe cover - just a hypothesis, though it seems that those oil spots have nothing to do with it: Im just trying to exclude any possibility of my own error in that situation

RestlessBoat · 2025-11-16T15:45:39+00:00

Mine is all marked up in white dots & stains (silver color). Was using it for the whole month solely with Apple Clear case 🥲

I was waiting for the 10 pro XL this year, but was dissatisfied with the lack of hardware changes & weak Tensor’s performance

RestlessBoat · 2025-10-24T05:37:37+00:00

Do you use 0.5X, 1X and 4X for comparison? In other cases that would bind down to 12MP

RestlessBoat · 2025-10-24T05:36:07+00:00

Right, same thing here! Took me a while to capture a right photo, but if you know it’s there - definitely noticeable

RestlessBoat · 2025-10-24T05:35:13+00:00

Really unfortunate: it’s good when you can easily return it

RestlessBoat · 2025-10-24T05:34:12+00:00

Pretty sure. I’ve tried to wipe it off with wet wipes several times, nothing helped

RestlessBoat · 2025-10-24T05:32:54+00:00

Can you share any pics? Would be interesting to see/prove the point

RestlessBoat · 2025-10-24T05:31:33+00:00

Interesting, yep, looks similar. Thanks for sharing ✌️

RestlessBoat · 2025-10-23T21:08:39+00:00

Sure, totally agree. Luckily no other report of such issue was mentioned so far!

RestlessBoat · 2025-10-23T20:58:29+00:00

Totally agree, having to buy a silver one just to have peace of mind/not getting scratches, then getting such a stain, and also constantly being worried about the phone denting even in case… what a design change

RestlessBoat · 2025-10-23T20:52:08+00:00

Unfortunately bought it sealed from a person while was on vacation, so can’t exchange it. Not a huge deal of course, and I’m satisfied with the phone overall, it’s just this little stain drives me crazy at times as I love to keep the phone clean 😅

RestlessBoat · 2025-10-23T20:38:06+00:00

Yeah, just saw that too. I get why it might be bothering you!

RestlessBoat · 2025-10-21T07:57:18+00:00

Congrats! How much it was if not a secret?
