Lightroom for iPhone & "RAW" Camera Photos

I started learning and using Adobe Lightroom in earnest recently, and part of the deal with it is included apps for mobile devices. I was discussing some of the finer points of LR with a buddy who works at Adobe, and he told me that, on newer iPhone models, the native LR camera shoots in a "RAW" mode with quality that surpasses that of the phone's basic camera software, so I've been playing around with it a bit.

Here are a few of my favorite early experiments with LR on an iPhone 6s...

• Black and white shot, converted from color, with fairly high contrast, pretty smooth, and has some nice detail.
• Downtown Oakland, view from the east side of Lake Merritt just after sunrise on a clear morning. The light at that time, under those conditions, often casts a golden glow on the cityscape that's pretty bold, with a similar reflection on the lake. I think the LR camera captured the scene nicely, and I was able to make it pop a little more in LR while retaining a natural look.
• My favorite buskers at the Grand Lake Farmer's Market in Oakland. Shot in color, converted to black and white. Nice contrast, clean details.
