The camera rings don’t look right. Looks fake to me.
Take it out during the daytime and don’t transfer any data over yet and have a backup phone ready. When in bright light the iPhone will use the telephoto lens and cover the other two lenses with your finger so you can test to see if the telephoto camera works. Another trick you can use is to shine a light into the lens and you should see a sensor since the sensor is offset by a prism and no longer directly behind the lens. If the camera doesn’t work take it to Apple to have the phone replaced.
Looks pretty normal to me. Have you tested the phone, or you’re just doing a visual inspection?

Did you order from somewhere shady or get a huge discount? If you ordered it from a major retailer, carrier, or directly from apple than it is almost certainly legitimate.
I do not see anything unusual from here. I have a blue 15 Pro Max and mine looks the same.
What do you think looks weird?
If you’re still unsure, take it to a store/repair center to be checked out.
“Looks weird” why?
What is the problem with the lenses of your iPhone?
Close your eyes. Problem solved
People have more leisure time than liquid income, you had the money to buy it, the time to enjoy it, and choose to waste that time trying hard to find something wrong with it.
Then you opted to waste our time convincing you that you are hallucinating a defect that doesn’t exist.
Walk back into the Apple Store and return it for a refund or try to read up on why the telephoto lens is the most innovative part of the phone (for Apple):
