Is there an iPhone LUTS for ON1 RAW desktop?

Occasionally I like to shoot on my iPhone and import the raw files into ON1 Raw. The thumbnails on my phone a very vibrant but On1 translates them very dark and it takes a lot of fiddling to get something like the original iPhone thumbnail. Often at the cost of blowing out the sky or causing weird edges on the trees in high contrast areas.

Is there something of an iPhone LUTS that will get my raw file closer than what's available in develop mode?

Here is the jpg off my iPhone (Note how overall brightness is higher without blowing out the sky) :

Here is the raw file after import into On1 using the standard LUTS in develop.

  Not a LUT, but you can make the appropriate adjustments and save them as a preset for iphone photos.

  There was not one adjustment. For example when I bring up the foreground I blow out the sky - I end up having to build masks. If I brought up the foreground to match the iPhone photo is looses details. In this case I could not get the sky color back and the edges of the trees have digital artifacts (can be seen in the unprocessed photo in other post).
  
  This is with glow and local fixes but I couldn't fix the sky. Both A + B sky swap were of no help.

  That's where Adaptive presets come in so that you can automatically mask the sky while adjusting other things. You should read up on how to use them or find a video that explains it.

  I am pretty good with masking, I watch the tutorials, been using On1 for many many years. Unfortunately ON1 in both A and B mode doesn't get the edges right when there are a lot of branches on the sky's edge. I still find I need to carefully go around with the chisel tool and clean up edges. Meanwhile the iPhone JPEG from the Raw looks perfect.
  
  Here is a comparison using the automatic sky masking on the RAW and a quick attempt to bring up the foreground values. (I could do better with grading I did it down and dirty for demo purposes.)
