Hi Olav,
The rear camera lens covers really aren't all that tricky. They're just circles of glass held in with adhesive, so replacing them is basically a matter of picking the broken glass out, removing the adhesive and sticking down a new lens. Really, all you have to worry about is leaving glass chips inside, so clean it out well and don't get fingerprints on the camera lens itself, and of course be careful to not scratch the lens either. I've done it on my Pixel 2, and it's exactly the same for the iPhones.
There's a video guide on YouTube for your phone, but really any guide will work.

The parts are easy to get too; I ran across them with a cursory search on Amazon, eBay and AliExpress all, and they're not expensive. Here's one as an example.

I just made a failed attempt to replace one of the glass lens covers on my iPhone 13 Pro. Overheated the lens itself and it fogged instantly. Too many people out there making this fix sound easy. Still couldn’t even pry off the lens glass anyway. What a waste. The real question is why can’t apple design something that doesn’t have big delicate glass lenses extending so far out of the %#*@ phone? Really miss my XR right now.
Yes, exactly. Why ask why, right? The covers should just screw off. How difficult would that be? I hate Apple

replacing the camera isn't quite as easy as expressed by many people on the internet. sure, you can pick the glass out of the rear camera lens bezel BUT, if you go the rout of not removing the screen and removing the camera first there are risks that you need to be aware of. If while removing the glass you get glass shard fragments in the focal motor, it can render the camera useless. the proper way of doing this is to remove the screen and then removing the camera and pushing the glass out of the back of the frame. this eliminates any risk of getting glass into the focal motor and getting glass shard fragments on the lens coating.

Jarius, you are absolutely correct. For a simple crack, it is generally easy, but if the lens is shattered with many small fragments then yes, extreme care is called for and the absolute safest way is indeed to open up the phone and remove the camera first.
Naturally that adds a lot of effort and the risk of breaking something else into the mix, but as far as protecting the integrity of the camera, that's the correct procedure to follow.
Ultimately it's a cost/benefit tradeoff analysis each person will have to do for themselves.

@dadibrokeit not easy if cracked, not easy if shattered. Stupid, they need a screw off lens
