scko··on iPhone 13 Pro camera review: Tanzania
I don't think they did tweak it that much. The chromatic aberration and distortion from the lens is still visible. Maybe a bit of colour work and changing the shadows was done. Probably still very representative of what the iPhone's camera can do.

I can't help but shake off the weird tricks that Apple do to the video and images that make these videos obviously shot on an iPhone. You can see the lack of sharpness where de-noising occurs, and where the colours are blobbed together. I think marketing the iPhone as being anything close to a replacement for a DSLR, even be it an entry level 100 dollar DSLR is silly as there's clearly a difference in quality just from camera sensor size and higher quality lenses. Especially editing iPhone photos using Lightroom limits you as many of the pre-processing steps compensate for the small lens and the small sensor.

The iPhone's camera is great for what it is, but it's definitely not anything close to a replacement of an entry level DSLR and shouldn't really be marketed as such.
