And how does iPhone do zooming in on a subject and holding focus? Or tracking focus of moving objects? Or controlling the exposure or focus points? Or choosing between deep and shallow depth of field?

Latest iPhones have a subject tracking and recognition as good or better than Canon.
You can control exposure with video dedicated apps like Filmic Pro.
In fact you can dislodge the exposure and focus spots unlike Canon ILC's

DOF control is where iPhones can't compete with dedicated cameras, among other aspects.

The R10 can do much better, but need brighter, affordable, native lenses.
Is up to Canon to decide if they want to compete or concede more market share to Smartphones.

In truth, the Canon is a much better $999 camera than the iPhone.

With a high quality lens yes, but with cheap lenses it is a match, however this is only limited to 24-28mm FL Eqv.

I won't be selling my R10 any time soon.
When paired with the RF100-400 lens, a 50mm or 85mm any Smartphone becomes a joke now and in the short term future.

But there is not denying the value that a high end smartphone brings if you can live within that limited focal range or have it doing the odd niche stuff that only an Smartphone can do.

It is just another tool in the arsenal of photo/videography.
