If you want an accurate representation of what you look like you need a camera with a 50mm lense.
iPhone cameras (and other phone brands ) are known to heavily and I mean really heavily process images to try and make them look better and the distance the photos taken also distorts. (It can make foreheads , noses , lips bigger or smaller etc) the processing can also make pimples look redder and so on

The mirror only lies when you start asking it questions. The camera has receipts.

The mirror shows you as you would be if you were inverted along a 4th spatial dimension.

Both, you’re uglier than either in real life. Bathrooms are usually set up so the lighting is overly flattering and cameras are just straight up lying to you.

Your face…
The camera processes your face to enhance image quality and ensure you look your best.
A mirror provides a more flattering view with different angles because you can control your perspective in real time.

The mirror does because your looking at your face reversed left to right similar to how words in the mirror are spelled backwards. When people see you in person they see you opposite of how you see your face in the mirror. Example, they see words on your shirt normally not reversed. Your face is actually not perfectly symmetrical so you would either look better in the mirror or in person. If you look better in a mirror then on the phone then lol 😂
Take a pic of yourself in a mirror. Then on your phone reverse/flip horizontally the image. Compare the 2. You will see a difference.
