An iPhone has a faster lens and more sophisticated sensor than a GR. It is obviously far smaller but stabilised.
So compacts over phones have...
- Traditional handling
- A reduced depth of field
- They don't start ringing when you're using them :-)
That's all, and the gap is narrowing.
- Traditional handling

More sophistiated sensor? It's a fraction of the GR sensor, and smears detail like a motherfucker. The photo I posted for the last challenge I couldn't have taken with an iPhone for shit. Yes, the cameras in phones are getting better, and yes, a photo taken on a phone is just as valid. But this whole 'small cameras are dead' thing I don't buy. Sure, for some people a phone is all they need. But there's still a difference.

I agree, hell I'm even focusing on getting a newer phone over an actual camera because they're a lot better nowadays.
Right now I replace the iPhone 6 Plus for a Nexus 5X because of the larger sensor.

Usually because it doesn't have the capabilities to go a high ISO and a faster lens for the scenario, oh and a larger sensor to allow more light in.
