BTW: iPhoto has been dead and buried for at least four years. The currrent app that took its place on macOS is Photos.
When raw files are imported into Photos, presuming they're from a supported camera, they're rendered to RGB for and allow you to edit and manipulate them as you would with any other integrated raw processor/image processor/photo manager. Cameras currently supported by iOS and macOS raw capture are listed here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht207972 --- 1- Going from any iOS device to any macOS device: simplest is AirDrop. Select what photos you want to move, tap the target. Respond to the notifier on macOS to accept the files and put them in a folder (not Photos). They go there. Done. 2- Going from an iOS device to a macOS device with a Lightning to USB cable: plug in the iPhone and start Image Capture, select the iPhone. A comprehensive listing of all the photos on the phone appears. Select what you want to move, tell macOS where you want to put them (somewhere in your file system, NOT Photos, if you want to import them into Lightroom), and click OK. Done. Apple supplies a Windows app equivalent of Image Capture to help you move photos from iOS to Windows if you need to. I don't recall the name off-hand. There are other solutions, like using Lightroom and other interactive apps, or portable storage devices. They're not simpler than the above but they might be more comfortable to you for various reasons.
