Unfortunately, Apple is not treating them the same. Even the 'RAW Max' DNGs and Apple log in ProRes are not identical.
That said, Apple is hitting the targets on a DSC chart pretty well, out of the box, when just using standard settings. Even much more expensive cameras are not that well balanced. But this doesn't apply to gamma. Only skin tones are a tad too yellow and the whole a bit too warm (anybody reminded of Kodak?):

P.S. You'll still need to do your own tests. After all, these are still consumer devices and sample variation should be expected.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.
