iPhone 13 Pro - White Balance issue (too much purple Tint by default)

Anyone having the same issue with the new iPhone 13 Pro (iOS 15.1) ?

I have found that default Apple Camera is adding a lot of purple Tint to most photos.

It can be checked when using ProRaw. When using standard HEIF output this is not visible (it shows 5000K and 0 tint).

Comparison of the same scene taken with the standard HEIF output and second with ProRaw adjusted to 0 Tint.

Default HEIF

ProRaw with Tint = 0

This difference is clearly visible even at daylight and using wide lens. It can get much worse with tele lens and specific lightning conditions.

Examples with tele lens:

Everything is kind of "washed out" and far from the reality. The only workaround is to shoot in ProRaw to be able to dial back the Tint. In standard HEIF it is non-recoverable :(
