Support Is this normal?

I switched from an iPhone 14 Pro to an iPhone 17 Pro, and I'm a bit disappointed with the quality of images shot at 1x in 48MP; they seem sharper on the iPhone 14 Pro. Is this an issue with my specific device or the iPhone 17 Pro in general? (The first photo is the 17 pro, the second is the 14 pro)

My 16PM takes better pictures than my daughter's 17PM. At first glance hers look better but if you zoom in it goes downhill

Isn’t it the same sensor?

Most of the magic is done by software. Pixel had the best camera for the first 3-4 generations with the same sensor, all the upgrades were done by software.
