This is so weird, there's an issue with my iPhone 14 Pro Max lens, when taking photos there are cracks seen which indicates the lens is either broken or dust is inside it, but when objects are closer to the lens the cracks disappear. I took my phone for the professional to take a look at but they couldn't know whether the lens is broken or not!

I removed the lens protector, but I'm not sure if there are any remains of it, I'm trying to figure out
