Is pro RAW something like a camera setting? I love photography and one of the big reasons I was so excited to upgrade was so I could take amazing photos on my iPhone with the nice camera. So once I figure out what pro RAW is and how to use it, I will definitely be using it.

I’m not a professional content creator but I create content for fun. I want this phone to edit my extreme sports videos, travel stuff, take high quality pics of my friends, things like that.

Any RAW format is the image exactly as captured by the camera’s sensor. Pro RAW is the one used by your iPhone. They are uncompressed and look awful until you manually ‘develop’ them in software, but you have complete control over the image so they are favored by advanced photographers. They are really large, though, and could eat into that 256 GB.
