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.

No, with the kit lens the Canon is still superior. But when you use all of Apple’s advanced image processing against an unprocessed Canon image and you scale down the resolution of both, you’re putting things in Apple’s favor.

In low light situations the kit lens will show more noise vs the iPhone f1.5 aperture and low ISO 40 as shown here. Older Canon Digic 8 based cameras can't shoot HDR 10bit video like this iPhone can, so it has that superiority off the shelf.

If your comparison is snapshots without post processing for displaying on 5” screens, the iPhone is just as good and maybe better.

Most of the time, the Canon camera images will be superior, but not always. There are certain scenarios where the iPhone could match it or even surpass it.
Regardless of image quality differences the iPhone is unbeatable in portability, that is why it has more opportunities to take pictures vs no pictures or videos at all from a full fledge dedicated camera left at home.
