I use Halide on my iPhone, and it does exactly what you say. It also reduces the perceived image quality from the phone drastically in anything but the best light, which (I think) supports my point. Without computational photography they are acceptable at best; with it they strip a lot of artistic agency. I use mine quite a lot for exactly that type of stuff but I don't even think about touching it for anything I want to edit.

You can do manual multi-shot blending and HDR if you want to. This is a photo I took on the iPhone 12 Pro Max with Halide RAW. It's a (manual) blend of around 10 exposures. The quality is not amazing, but I think it's pretty good for a night shot on a phone that's two generations behind the iPhone 14 Pro. https://imgur.com/a/S9fhQrK https://imgur.com/a/S9fhQrK

  Your comments seem to assume I have no familiarity with how photography is used or the tools. I’m not sure why. I’ve done plenty of HDR, Panoramas, etc. in my life. I don’t find the iPhone to be a tool worth my time to invest in those, except in situations where it’s the only camera with me (so anything unplanned, which happens).
