At the exact same time, the exact same scene? One could do the same thing with two identical, expensive DSLRs side by side, same scene...one will have lens flare, the other will not.I took the same photo on a different iphone and it didnt show

Have you taken the exact same shot with both your and your Dad's phones under the exact same conditions? One could be set on a different filter.

HDR is combining two exposures, it will have more, that's normal. Any camera/lens will produce flare depending on the circumstances. You have to learn at what angle to shoot to avoid it. There's nothing wrong with your camera.
I was showing the OP that many things can cause lens Flare. My phone's camera is fine for an old iP 5. I use ProCamera 8 for most photos.

It doesn't matter that the angles are slightly different in the ceiling photos.
