iPhone 15 compass shows different readings

my Iphone 15 have different compass reading in different apps, Apple compass result is correct and different than the rest of the apps (other app that use compass, apple maps, or third party compass app), the two images below one from Apple compass, the other is from 3rd compass, the latter is wrong, sometimes it is off by 90 degree. First I thought the problem belongs to the 3rd app but no, all other apps encounter the same problem, even apple maps

Compass on different iPhones show different results, what's happening? All of the iPhones I used had the exact same settings for Compass, and Compass calibration was turned on as well. However, when lined up and facing the same direction, the iPhone 8 plus showed 32 NW, the iPhone 7 showed 31 NW , pretty similar. However, the iPhone 14 pro showed 41 NW, and iPhone 13 pro showed 43 NW. How do I fix this or is there something different between the older models and newer models? Thanks for any answers.

Inaccurate compass on iPhone 13 The compass on my iPhone 13 is wildly inaccurate. Calibration is on and I tried restarting it, but it is still not working well. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
