The highly processed images are instantly identified by the artificial lighting / HDR look, ringing around subjects. Adding that to a DSLR is not going to do wonders (mine already has native HDR and it looks exactly as you’d expect). What you should be looking at as a benchmark is cinema sensors with wide dynamic range like RED. You can get slightly better range from the iPhone by shooting RAW, but still far behind.
