This matches with my experience. I love shooting full manual on my mirrorless, even dialing in manual focus on a fast prime with some assistance from focus peaking, but when it comes to iPhone photography, I prefer shooting hands-off. It feels like the ML engine just knows the limitations of the sensor better than I do and can give me the most to work with in Photos' streamlined develop mode.
