Not necessarily. Mostly. But people are sensitively to the result (too smooth) without knowing how to. Now you have. Solution some basic idea like how to access raw (specific apps or a setting in iphone) and which stage to turn to the left (camera raw I presume).

Please. Do not be too harsh.

I've noticed the pictures from my iPhone look awful compared to my old pixel, and I know nothing about photo editing and there's zero chance I'd be willing to manually edit photos when the pixel is point-and-shoot
