If my X-T3 is out and ready to bring up to my eye, I can probably shoot more quickly with better framing/composition than I can with a smartphone. You obviously can't bring a phone up to your eye in the same way; it has to be held a distance in front of you. The only thing that makes a phone less obtrusive is that everyone is conditioned to seeing them out taking pictures all the time. A real camera is more like seeing an exotic car coming down the street.

I don't use an iPhone so can't comment on that exactly, however from what I've read the iPhone 11 has an excellent camera with a night mode similar to the Pixel 3 Night Sight. For me the Night Sight mode was a game changer when shooting where a tripod wasn't used because it was inconvenient, too obtrusive, not spontaneous, not available or banned. The Night Sight images were usually better (or at worst equal) than high ISO with the X-T3 (even with a stabilized lens). There is no getting around what computational photography is capable of in certain shooting envelopes. I'd expect you'd see a similar situation with the iPhone 11.
