Ok, I have noticed when I download my photos from the iPhone 11 Pro Max camera, there are duplicates of every photo. There is the original, and then there is an (edited) version even though I have never edited these photos.

Can someone tell me what's up and how to stop this from doing that? For example: just save the photo originally and let me edit it myself if I need to. Without making a duplicate (edited) copy.
 
Your phone is saving both the original & Smart HDR photo.

Go to Settings >> Camera >> Keep Normal Photo = OFF
