RAW images not supported in my iPhone for Sony A7r IVA although it’s been released 1 year ago!

how longs should we wait till it’s supported .. and meanwhile is there a way to import images directly form the memory card ? If I shoot in jpeg or uncompressed raw will my phone recognize it ?

iPhone 12 Pro Max

Sorry, but this is the user-to-user forum. You are not talking to Apple here. Nobody here can tell you if or when a camera model will be supported by Apple at all, not all cameras do get RAW support.

All currently supported cameras are on this list: Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey - Apple Support


RAW Support is provided by iOS on the iPhone only for third-party applications:  "These RAW formats offer greater image-editing flexibility on iOS and iPadOS using third-party apps that support RAW. ...  RAW processing on iOS or iPadOS with third-party apps is available on iPhone 6 or later, iPad Pro (all models), iPad mini 4 or later, iPad Air 2 or later, and iPod touch (6th generation) or later."


If you set the camera to shoot JPEG or TIFF the iPhone should be able to work with the files

I contacted some agents in live chat but none of them helped and some advices me to start thread so it ought there will be agents here too .. the raw support will come eventually my only concern is when .. I think as customers we have the right to know how long this will be this a big issue for thousands of photographers around the world who use these models for their work, we just need to ask the engineering team who’s responsible for these updates but it looks impossible
