RAW photos on iPhone 16 Pro

I took some photos this morning on my new iPhone 16 Pro Max in Raw (or so I thought…) The camera app was configured to shoot in raw, the photos appear in the Photo app in raw, but when I transfer them to my Mac (through an iCloud folder or by airdrop) they appear in jpeg format. I transfer all data from an iPhone 15 Pro, and it created DNG files. What am I doing wrong?

I too encountered this problem.

I found a workaround.

My work around involves me hitting the share button, then choosing 'export unmodified originals' which sends me to a folder on my iCloud account, once there I open said folder on my laptop, then I download directly from my iCloud account to the laptop then to the drive I use for storage.

Hope this helps?

I would prefer not to have do this, but maybe it's a bug?
