    ProRes =/= raw. ProRes is apple’s proprietary lossless video codec. They shoot raw photos. AFAIK Apple has not made a raw codec, that’s mostly the purview of canon, black magic, red, etc

      Alright, fair. Noted. Just because their marketing calls it ProRes RAW doesn’t mean it is true RAW. I didn’t look into it that much.

      What I do know though and what my point was about is that it makes big files fast. Files of a type and scale you can’t effectively do anything useful with on an iPhone itself. So if you want to edit them (and why else would you shoot in that format?) then step 1 is that you want them off the phone and on a platform that can deal with them. And for that transfer speed matters.
