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

And the iPhone is infinitely better at phone calls, texting, email, web browsing etc., etc., etc. Oh, and it works with my Apple Watch which is the best piece of tech ever invented. My R cameras can't do that.

So comparing just on the camera/video functionality is silly really.

I've got a complete set of FF L lenses and R cameras and while not doubt they can beat my iPhone 13 on ultimate quality, the iPhone does so much more and for many photo/video tasks is perfectly suitable.

I'm not really much of a video person, but I've decided all my videos will be shot on my iPhone. Mind you I'm not trying to shoot the next Gone With The Wind, but it works for my meager uses. Photo duty will be split between the phone and dedicated cameras.

A side point - the camera makers really need to make their cameras connect to users phones seamlessly. Since starting to use my iPhone for more phot stuff, I've realized just how useful having location data for each photo is. Most cameras can do this in some form but many aren't convenient. Canon actually does better than the Olympus, Panasonic and Sony cameras I have, but there's room for improvement.

Good grief. It is juvenile to change the subject in order to try to make someone seem wrong

This is an ironic statement given your comments in this thread.

You know what? My shoes can’t connect to the internet or tell time. So I’ll strap a couple of iPhones to my feet because they’re so much better.

I own iPhones and Canon cameras. I use the phone a lot more than my Canon, but that doesn’t make it better.
