I mostly shoot ProRAW with Halide on my 14 Pro and the processing is reduced, but it's still there, and it's still obvious. I seldom get a photo I would actually consider printable at reasonable sizes because zooming in closely reveals obvious processing artifacts. The darker and higher contrast the scene, the worse it gets - the cool shots I've taken of SF's skyline at night are good test cases. They look good on the device display, but zooming in the processing is beyond obvious.
I was really excited for the 48MP sensor in my new iPhone. Initially I shot a lot more photos and tried to use it more like a 'real camera,' but I wound up picking up 35mm photography this year. I'll likely get a digital body eventually too, but I'm enjoying learning about film stocks and getting a really deep understanding of the exposure triangle. My fancy new iPhone camera ultimately just pushed me to realize I want to be shooting stuff that can enlarge and print better and it's still not there. Not to mention the optical effects of a "real lens" (bokeh, true and configurable physical depth of field).
