To me my iPhone is a "moment/memory catcher" I have so many memories throughout the years that are priceless to me. They are caught, stored and sorted. However I don't consider me taking pictures with my phone as being a photographer. I do not think of Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO, White Balance, Lens, Background Compression etc. I do not think of a specific look or style of photography. To me it is: There is a moment I want to capture. And the iPhone is in my pocket and does a very good job quality wise for personal consumption and social media sharing. I bought my first dedicated camera 2 yeas ago (the full frame Panasonic Lumix S5 I and a year later I added the S5 IIX) I have been learning photography and videography basics and have so much more appreciation for the art. In conclusion I don't want people to feel limited by having an iPhone. You can create great content (the iPhone has the best video out of all smartphones) and monetize it. However all smartphone manufacturers have their own look for photos. As an iPhone user from the 5S onwards I can guess the iPhone photo in comparisons where they don't show the phone name about 75% of the time. Before I would get a new iPhone every 2 years as there were noticeable improvements in the cameras. Now I skip iPhone cycles and get dedicated cameras and accessories. I think that the physical limits of phone sensors have been reached and no amount of computational photography can make up for that.
Tried photography with a phone for a while... got very tired from running after all the wildlife. To be honest I use both. I use my phone for snapshots, family pictures which I can then directly sent via whatsapp, so mostly when photography is not a goal and in these cases I don't want to carry around a camera. I use my camera when I really plan to go out to take photo's.
I find it hard to use my android cam even if I dont have my Pentax dslr or Fuji mirrorless with me. Just doesnt feel rigjt in my hands and I know the results are nothing more than a "preserving/sharing a memory" kind of thing. And I wouldnt even consider buying an iphone for its (somehow better, compared to other phones)camera, which is btw more expensive than my XT3 with 3 lenses kit bought 2nd hand. Especially since everyone knows its being crippled in IQ by apple (since its just computational photography) by the time the new version comes out; just in order to convince everyone that the new version is better! But to each their own.

i agree, Phone sensors can only go so far with the current tech.

@@MrGirbes exactly the same for me.
The truth is there is a place for cellular phones in photography, but cellular phones will not replace large or full frame format cameras.
