Strange highlights on photo

In this iPhone photo, part of the wall of the building is lighter in color. In reality, however, this building was evenly lit, so without those artificial lighter areas. This phenomenon can only be seen when I view the photo on my iPhone in the iPhone photo app. When I view the same photo on the PC in iCloud, that lighter area is not there. Does anyone have an idea how those lighter spots arise? And what can be done about it?

Jeff,

The author has an iPhone 13. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since iPhone 13, HDR is not something you can turn on and off. It's on by default.

This article seems to support this --> Adjust HDR camera settings on iPhone - Apple Support

Never mind. I thought it was a camera setting. It's a setting for Photos to turn off View Full HDR.
