I just shipped a camera app for iPhone dedicated to Bayer RAW capture (that's the true, unprocessed sensor output of your device - not Apple's ProRAW which is already demosaic'd and has noise reduction, etc).

I had fun with the interface - it's themeable, and inspired by classic cameras: lets you quickly switch between full auto/half auto/full manual modes with dedicated dials.

Going to add more features in the coming months, but the #1 focus is keeping it super simple and blazing fast.

Given that virtually all processing pipelines these days stack multiple shots to create a photo, as far as I'm aware this is the only way of getting a "traditional" single-exposure photo on iPhone, where the shutter speed is actually meaningful.

There are other camera apps that support Bayer RAW capture, but those support a bunch of other formats, and you probably don't want Bayer RAW for most of your shots anyways, so for my own workflow it's better to have a dedicated app that I can launch really quickly rather than tap around in menus.
