Does anyone have any advice? I am 3+ hours away from the closest Apple Store and would like to avoid sending it in and being without a phone for 5+ days if possible. Pretty disappointing as I mainly bought this phone for the camera

This is unfortunately pretty common. If you shine a flashlight into the camera lenses more often than not you’ll probably find some dust underneath them. That one is more apparent though.
I have an iPhone 14 Pro. Mine has a few bits of dust underneath two lenses but it doesn’t effect my photos.
They swap it out with another one, chances are it might have it too. Maybe just not show quite as bad. They are mass produced devices, and dust is everywhere. It doesn’t matter if it’s super duper IP 6000 resistant, dust is all over and it WILL get in there eventually. Just look at the back of your camera modules and see how much dust they collect for example. There’s no way few specks aren’t making it in.
I stopped letting it bother me. If it starts affecting my photos then I’ll reach out to Apple.
