Right, Minolta A1

I took the picture for a quick and dirty comparison where the iPhone had zero detail and the old Minolta had some despite being out of focus.

The iris is somewhat out of focus in my picture, you can see the eyelashes are in focus,

The same was true for the sample gallery photo where the iris is not in focus, but you are basing your argument on that photo.

You took the entire frame from the iPhone shot and cropped mine. And despite all that, there's still detail present in my picture.

I cropped so the irises would be of similar size.

And even then, there's some mushiness visible in the iPhone shot.

And I could just as well point out that you can see eyelashes clearly in my picture and they're soft in the iPhone's. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would respond by pointing out that the eyelashes are also in focus in the sample gallery which is why there isnt good iris detail.

I’m not going to state that your premise is incorrect, everyone can draw their own conclusions.
