Could you build this?
Partial A basic manual-exposure camera app is feasible with AVFoundation, but matching the quality of a raw, minimally processed pipeline across every iPhone lens and format requires deep iOS camera internals knowledge.
What it would actually take: Build a native Swift app on AVFoundation using manual exposure, ISO, and shutter controls, and write RAW, ProRAW, and TIFF output directly. The hard part is handling each physical lens, device-specific capture formats, and disabling Apple's computational pipeline (multi-frame fusion, tone mapping) while keeping results reliable, which takes experienced iOS camera engineering and extensive device testing.
