So how many of you actually use your iPhone’s camera to its fullest? Apple ProRAW?

I use mine all the time, I’m a photographer and I love to take photos. Today at church I took over a hundred raw photos and editing them in Lightroom afterwards caused the iPhone to over heat and shut down until it could be cooled and before I could use it again. I had a cold glass of tea that I set on the back to sped the cooling down, it worked, I haven’t seen my iPhone do this yet. Pushed it to its limits I suppose. I had the Apple leather case on during this.

So has this happened to you? Does it happen often? I suppose it only will if you were editing as many RAW photos as I was. I was trying to get them done quickly for someone at the church to post. Anyway, just curious.
 
I called Apple support and sent logs after describing my issues with the overheating. My iPhone gets pretty hot when processing 20 photos and exporting them to camera roll. I should know something by Wednesday.
