Setting aside that Apple is not a product, tradeoffs are the name of the game regardless of vendor.

I use apps like Halide to fill in the gaps in the stock camera app, and shoot with a standalone camera when I want full creative control.

That doesn’t mean I don’t have a wishlist.

The funny part is that the primary theme of my comment is about the control Apple gives you over your data - control you do not have when picking other products - and arguable a more important thing to allow me to control.

Sorry for not being born in an English speaking country. Would you prefer if I'd said "Then Apple's products are not for you"?

Nitpicks about sentence structure aside (sorry, that was needlessly snarky on my part), that wasn't really the point of my comment.

I've decided that Apple products are, indeed, for me. Wishing they would provide certain features doesn't change that.

Apple has shown repeatedly that they are continuing to invest in camera controls. The "RAW" button, support for ProRes, etc. are a few examples of this. Giving "creators" access to more creative modes in the camera is hardly an idea that is so opposite Apple's norms to imagine they might include it someday, or to conclude that I should abandon the ecosystem because they don't have it today.
