So when taking photos like the one attached I get a ton of green dots in my photos. Anybody notice this and is it a software bug or a hardware issue? Curious if it’s across all devices or maybe something I should contact apple about.

Looks like he is getting artifacts in the pictures. If you look at the kid's hair and back you can see them and they do not look like a reflection off the camera lens to me.
Unfortunately this happens with any lens with multiple elements. AR coatings help but not eliminate these artifacts. The brighter the point source the worse this is.
If you activate raw and snap a pic and open on a workstation with an image editor you will see those dots mimic the original source. Also, when previewing on the screen if you change the angle you will see the dots move proportionately.
I’m aware of this, but the concerns are how much it happens on this versus my 11 Pro Max. It was not anywhere as noticeable so I’m curious if it was a one off issue with my phone or a 12 Pro Max issue. I didn’t even see it as significant on my 12 Pro I had before my Max.

They are not the same cameras. The iPhone 12 Pro has a new 7 element lens on the main wide lens. This could most certainly be the cause of light reflection and lens flair with certain lighting conditions. The larger iPhone 12 Pro Max variant has a 47 percent larger sensor on the main wide camera.
