Dan, while I concur with you about support for iPhones, your reaction is a bit extreme. Iridient Developer will handle iPhone RAW and probably the new iPhone 12 Pro only DNG (release notes here). While the tools are nowhere as near as comprehensive as Photolab (no local adjustments or bitmap repair/heal features, no Prime noise reduction), the RAW development tools are good. Switching between DxO Photolab and Iridient Developer isn’t too much of a burden as both use sidecar files (.dop and .idsf) respectively and read XMP rating files.
Here’s a sample RAW photo from my iPhone 11 Pro Max developed with Iridient Developer:
As the photo above shows, there’s RAW support in previous iPhones too with third party applications (saved in a standard format across third party applications). There’s plenty of potential for iPhone photos shot with good light.
DxO did support iOS 9 or 10 (probably the days of the DxO One) but then dropped iPhone support completely. It’s not just iPhone 12 Pro users who are deprived. It’s a mystery to me why DxO would ignore such a large market as well as annoy its core user base, many of whom have recent iPhones and third party RAW applications.
