However, i must admit, cell phone photography is evolving fast - one of the options I had when buying the GR2 was an iPhone 7+. I decided against it for size (the 7+ is huge IMO) and cost ($900?). Plus the rapid obsellence of iPhones based on Apple dropping support of older phones is a potential issue (have not researched so just my impression).

Actually, iPhones go obsolete more slowly than just about any other smartphone in existence. Yesterday Apple announced that iPhone 5 (released 2012) and 5c (2013) will cease to receive OS updates this autumn, ending their run at 4-5 years. This length of support is almost unheard of for smartphones. To wit, contemporary Android phones are long out of support already: Samsung Galaxy S3 (2012) did not receive the update to Android 5.0 in 2014; even Google's Nexus 4 went out of support after 2015.

That said, pretty much all digital cameras get supported for longer than 4-5 years. Everything is relative.
