With the iPhone 6 Plus,  can make quite acceptable prints, albeit rarely larger than 4x6. However I print very rarely in general, usually do it myself on Canon photo printer.

The primary advantages for me of a “real” camera is the flexibility of controlling exposure and the ability to use higher quality lenses for reach or for subject isolation using shallow DOF for example.  Also the tiny sensor in cellphones does not lend it towards significant cropping.

But since the vast majority of images are viewed on cellphone, tablets or computer screens the phone camera is going to meet the needs of a lot of folks
