To find the RAW feature you need to do two things:

Go to Settings -> Camera -> toggle Apple ProRAW on

Then in the Camera app there will be a "RAW" button that you can tap on to enable RAW capture

Third party camera apps like Halide (https://halide.cam) focus on just using the RAW capabilities by default

+1 for Halide, which I didn't know about. Apple doesn't give non-Pro 13s access to RAW images (that I know of), but Halide does out of the box. The camera AI was driving me crazy on my 13mini; now I have a solution. Are there other similar apps of similar quality? In particular, I'd love an excellent BW app which is (at least relatively) AI-free.

The iPhone RAW mode still does quite heavy processing though.

Here’s a comparison I just made between the iPhone camera’s RAW and default modes, and Halide: https://i.ibb.co/XFMJVjz/9-DD734-F7-CA00-4-E53-85-C7-283315-...
