Thanks for this comparison.

iPhone is doing very well here considering its sensor and optics tiny size. Yet it falls clearly behind R10 in terms of dynamic range, highlights range, detail rendering, sharpness and the natural feel from the scene.

The iPhone 13 Pro is able to capture a good deal of dynamic range.
The issue here was that when this video frame was extracted, the app did not interpreted the Dolby Vision video as HDR, but SDR.
The major difference I see here is in regards to Depth of Field,

Another major difference which I see is the lack of the fine details and textures due to the big amounts of de-noising applied in the iPhone. Look at the Caucasian doll's head which looks like being from a porcelain, completely washed-out, while on the R10 it looks naturally. The bear's nose lacking much of its texture. Etc.

with the Smartphone tiny sensor plus the crop it uses for video mode, obviously the R10 has a superior DOF control but only if you use a bright lens.

I'm surprised the iPhone was this good

This good for a phone. Fully agree. This good for a given sensor size. But in overall comparison it falls way behind the most basic ML R camera.

and it can be better. I might do it again tonight using a different App to bypass the HDR format for a better comparison.
The iPhone UWA camera was trash in low light since it uses an even smaller sensor.

Between the three lenses it is hard to guess since each of them seems to be focused a bit differently. But I like the Tokina the most, then RF, then EF-S. But different scene might give different results.

Agree, another surprise was the Tokina, this lens is as sharp as the RF16 and it only cost $50 more, a bargain for a zoom lens but is much heavier and bulky.
The EF-S 10-18 lens on the other hand narrow apertures produces too much noise, making the iPhone a better tool for low light interior scenes and little, if any DOF advantage.

Even with the noise and ancient basic lens the image from R10 is notably sharper with much more fine details and textures. Not speaking about the DR and color accuracy which is way off on the iPhone shot.

Google also answered me that the max video bitrate of iP 13 Pro is 95 Mb/s for 4k60. R10 has 230 Mb/s for 4k60 (340 Mb/s for 10-bit). It describes the amount of details being capable of tranfer.
