Isn't that with 3rd party apps only?

No. https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/take-apple-proraw-pho...

ProRAW doesn't disable image processing, in fact it even says as much in the link you provided.

> Apple ProRAW combines the information of a standard RAW format along with iPhone image processing to offer additional creative control when you make adjustments to exposure, color, and white balance.

ProRAW is regular DNG raw files. In the DNG format you can store metadata like tonemapping masks etc but those are non destructive adjustments, it’s like a layer on top of the raw data. You can open the ProRAW files on any app that reads RAW files and undo any processing without loss of information and do your own processing.

Don’t you still need a 3rd party to dial back the smoothing applied by Apple? This was mentioned in the article.
