I hate iOS color rendering though and I tried RAW. I ran the TMB (100mi in Alps) with phone and compact film camera and only 1 iPhone photo made the cut. The colors are too saturated esp the sky with the fake polarizer effect and the color transitions more abrupt. Everything looks way too cool in tone and muddy when I try to warm. And this is on a 13pro. My damaged film (noisy from X-rays at airport) was still far better with softer color gradations and better overall rendering. Fuji XE4 is also far better than phone. I hardly use my phone camera.

To be honest I've always found the auto white balance of every iPhone (SE, SE2, 12) I've had to be quite terrible and inconsistent for modern standards under artificial light. Roughly equivalent to 1st generation Nikon DSLRs (>20 year old tech). Pictures with the built-in flash are also really amazingly bad, worse than any compact I've ever had. The SE and SE2/3 have terribly tinting with the built-in flash as well. The 12 is much better here but still pretty bad. Close focus is no good - worse than old DSLR kit lenses. And ultra-wide on the 12 is so noisy and bereft of details that it's really just a gimmick.

On the other hand, night mode works quite well and it's a camera you almost always have with you.
