Percentage does not always accurately represent current capability. I’ve seen phones with high capacities that die within a few minutes/seconds after unplugging.

I don't think not processing is an option – after all, we are talking about Apple. If they deem something good (enough?) there is a chance it will become the default without any toggle.

I can't disable the "Smart" HDR function in my 13 mini. Only way around it is using the Lightroom camera (or any other third party camera app, I suppose). That also has the nice advantage of keeping noise reduction and sharpening to a minimum, which makes them my problem to consider afterwards. I also like noisy but sharp pictures better than the clean, oversharpened "smartly" optimized mess that has become normal.

Maybe try that? Lightroom saves DNG files (at least on my 13 mini, which doesn't offer RAW files otherwise). Maybe it gets the sensor data before any "smart" processing can take place.

As I said, your images are very difficult edge cases. I think even my mirrorless camera would have to ramp up the ISO to unuseable heights for this scene.

My concern wouldn’t be about the screen, I don’t see that going out unless you’re constantly dropping the phone. My concern would be more of how much has the battery been used up to this point, that’s probably the only repair you’ll have to get done on it.

but still for me it's gonna be an upgrade, first of all, and then secondly, I think A12 is gonna be sufficient for basic video recording in 1080 (maybe 4k rarely) and some casual youtube insta binance stuff

So…you turned your phone off to prevent anyone messing with it (which they couldn’t anyway because passcodes, presumably) and you can’t find it now because it is off.

In theory the 11 is findable when it’s off, but that functionally requires other iOS devices around to ping it.

Ask your family where it is. You’ve tried everything.

Don’t turn it off next time. Just set a good passcode and make sure faceID requires attention to unlock so no one can unlock it with your face while you’re sleeping.

I think that’s what I don’t understand about ProRaw… if the photo can’t be processed then why process it at all? I’d rather have a super noisy image that retains true sensor data than a “processed” image that loses all its detail.

What I’m trying to understand here is whether this is a bug (it must be, right?) or expected behavior. Unfortunately there’s no way of getting a regular RAW file out of the 48MP sensor, as far as I can tell
