iPhone 13 - Why can’t I turn off HDR for photos?

It appears that it isn’t possible to turn off HDR for photos on the iPhone 13. Does anybody know of a workaround? I’ve tried using apps other than the standard Camera app, but the photos are still in HDR. Sunset photos are awful with highly unnatural colors. These pics were taken tonight with iPhone 13, note the oddly bright yellows, red and oranges. I always turned HDR off for sunset pics on my iPhone X so they didn’t have that odd contrasty color problem.

I have an iPhone 13. That feature isn’t available. I finally located a thread explaining that it just isn’t possible and as of now, Apple has no plans to fix it. I’ve given feedback to Apple, and I guess that’s all I can do other than sell the phone and go back to an earlier version (which I’m considering).

On iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X: Go to Settings > Camera, then turn off Auto HDR. To turn HDR back on from the camera screen, tap HDR, then tap On. On iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and earlier: Tap HDR at the top of the camera screen, then tap Off.
