Considering the many advantages to shooting in RAW, it is safe to assume that all one-size-fits-all software processing (a la iPhone) are vastly inferior to performing the image processing manually (with the data directly off the censor, uncompressed, and unaltered)
Would this be the end user doing that? Although you can't raw out of an iPhone it's not one-size-fits-all, I'd say it's the opposite as they have tuned the processing for that exact sensor/lens combination after testing.
To be clear, I would LOVE to get raw out of an iOS device camera. It would make motion analysis much more precise. With iOS 8 you have kinda/sorta control over the exposure time, but it could be more precise.
