The newer iPhones can shoot in RAW. However, it is not through the Apple camera app that is built in, but rather through 3rd party apps. There are a few free ones, which I have tried, and all have one flaw or another ( don't save properly, lose metadata, etc.). There are several paid ones at nominal prices. I may just keep buying one after another until I find one that works well, but if someone out there knows which is good, I'd love to hear it.
The iPhone pictures are getting better and better, and it sure is handy for quick shots of the grandkids, unexpected great
Igbo, sunset, etc.
Thanks.
My "Android" phone, a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 shoots RAW too, 10-bit only. I can open them with
ACR and process them just like a "real" camera image in
Photoshop. There is a Samsung-Verizon app that is used to transfer the files or it can be done once the phone and PC are linked manually through Windows. And the Cell images do have Metadata.
What I find really handy for those quick photographs is my D700 or D800e. Since one, or the other, is with me 99.9% of the time, my phone is the last thing I think of using to take a photograph.

I did not know that, thanks for posting, I love my Note 5.

The camera 'app' in LR Mobile works.
My primary iPhone photo app is
ProCamera,
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/procamera./id694647259?mt=8It can save photos as DNG, TIFF or JPEGs. You can edit within ProCamera or export to other iPhone editing apps (e.g. Lightroom mobile, Snapseed, etc.) I often edit the DNGs in Lightroom on my Mac. When you edit a DNG, it saves the results as JPEGs so the original DNG is unaltered. If you edit a TIFF file, it creates another TIFF. Again, the original is remains unchanged. Since DNGs and TIFFs are many megabytes, you have the option to export (e.g. email) copies as small, medium or large JPEGs.

I'm not sure if this is comment, statement or question.
1. If you save ProCamera photo files (e.g. DNG, TIFF, etc.) to the iPhone Camera Roll, you can immediately edit them in Lightroom Mobile on the iPhone.
2. You can also send them directly from ProCamera to the Adobe Creative Cloud. This won't be immediate since it depends on the speed of the network.
3. You can also transfer photos from the iPhone to Mac by via iTunes/Syncing on the Mac. Photos will then be available from the iTunes Backup files. This would not be immediate since it takes time to backup the iPhone.
4. This is my favorite method: I've found that the fastest way to send photos from my iPhone to my Mac is via iExplorer (
http://www.macroplant.com). I've programmed iExplorer to automatically open folders with photos on my iPhone when I plug the iPhone into my Mac. These folders then appear both in my Mac's Desktop and also in Lightroom's > Import page. I can then import iPhone > ProCamera raw files directly from my iPhone into Lightroom as fast as I can import from a regular camera's SD card. No iPhone backup or wireless transfer needed.

It appears that the Smartphone camera industry is doing all they can to capture the hobbyist photography market worldwide. And I have to admit the image quality on some are impressive. I own 3 cameras, a DSLR, Bridge Point and shoot, and a pocket camera, as well as a smartphone with a camera. I'm hoping that my gear won't be a dinosaur soon, because I very rarely use my smartphone for photography. Maybe I better start sharpening my camera skills for the next generation iPhone or Smartphone.

Are the new smart phones any better at pre-processing, the work they do before taking a picture? Recently I traveled out to San Diego so I could be my daughter's co-driver in her move back to the Midwest. I did take my small Pentax Q-7 with me, but both of us tried to take pictures from the car using smart phones, and we found the delay between pressing the button and actually taking the picture often was several seconds, especially when the subject was moving with respect to the camera (*), which of course meant that we didn't get the picture we expected to get.
(*) I'm guessing that most of the delay was in figuring out focus, but I don't really know for certain what the cause was, just that the "shutter delay" was serious when movement was involved.

I went to a WW2 Veterans Event this past August. The Vets were being honored. I didn't want to be boggled down with a DSLR because it was not much room to maneuver to get a good shot, as most were seated. My pocket camera was perfect because it had a fixed telephoto lens. And when I was done, I stuck it in my pocket. Everyone in attendance had either an iPhone or Smartphone, and were taking photos relentlessly. This invention made it possible for the majority of the American population, including teenagers, to have access to a camera 24/7..The problem you had with shutter delay on your smartphone is one I don't have an answer for.
