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.

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

I don't know, this feels like you are grasping at straws because you don't want to admit the Canon shot at f5.6 looks like noisy garbage. Remember this is video, so it's already quite compressed. You aren't going to be able to adjust it much at all, and it takes quite a bit of time to post process video. And the images are not scaled, they are 4k video, so 8MP. The phone is doing multi frame noise reduction and HDR even in video. It has a 4 stop faster lens, which makes it still over a stop faster in equivalent terms taking sensor size into account.

iPhones take good

Thats just ridiculous. When you stop a lens down indoors, blah blah… Big deal. Go shoot video of someone playing baseball or soccer and tell me which camera kicks ass.  The iPhone can’t possibly come close in a million ways. You’re choking off the light on the Canon and claiming that makes it inferior. But if that makes you happy, great.  Frankly, this thread is pointless if the purpose is to say, “I have an iPhone and I like it.”

If the question is which video camera is more powerful, it’s the Canon, by far. But it will take more effort and the right lens, but if shot properly, it can deliver professional results.  It’s not as strong at snapshots.
