My iPhone 13 Pro Max has intense lens flare and looks starkly different from my friends same phone camera, how do I fix this?

My iPhone 13 has a very intense lens flare and the quality is sometimes questionable. I thought this was normal until I compared photos with my friend who has the same phone. I cross-checked and make sure we had the exact same camera settings yet the photos still looked very different like the photos provided. What seems to be wrong with my phone camera and how do I fix it?
