Are these signs of camera defects with my iPhone 13 Pro Max? I keep getting these lens flares when taking photos and videos with bright sources of light. Happens allot with the sun during day and bright lights during night.

Yes and they're normal. Before you take the photo, you can easily see the flares on the screen. Alter the angle of the phone relative to the bright lights and you can eliminate the flares.
While these two photos were taken on iPhone 12 Pro Max, you can see what I'm talking about.
This photo show lens flare:
Simply angling the camera differently without moving at all produced this photo:
Every camera has lens flare. New iPhones have he worst lens flare.
Standard ghost reflections, completely normal.
Very well put my friend! :) 👍
Nice photography!
“the bending of the law of physics” is called engineering…
Yes it is a big problem, and yes, you can learn some techniques to mitigate the issue, however,
Apple for sure has the resources to resolve it or at least, minimize it significantly.
No they are removed during post processing with the help of the iPhone’s ISP (Image Signal Processor) hardware.
That’s not true.
Attempts to mitigate flares through software will eliminate desired photo details, too.
You can’t work around optics.
What are the suggestions to use the 13 Pro devices for photography and video?
