Thank you, had no idea. That is a lot of pixels to cram into that little space.

Yes, it's amazing how far cell phones have come in a few years. Many people select their phone based on the camera. I use a Samsung Galaxy J3 with TracPhone. It cost $59, and it's a typical smartphone. It's cost me a little over $13/month for the past four years.
I too have a Samsung J3 that I bought at wallyworld. I think I paid the same price for it.
It does everything I need it to do. I very seldom use the camera, although it does a pretty good job.

My iPhone 7+ (hand me down from my oldest) is my primary digital camera. It’s with me all the time and takes better than my old iPhone 5.

Thank you to everyone for contributing to our discussion. I welcome any improvements in cell phones or other cameras that make it easier to take photos that I care about......and accordingly that other people can also enjoy seeing.

I am far from giving up my DSLR’s, but I can not deny the quality and significance of the cell phone cameras.
They are the future for many people, including pro photographers.

Guess we can use them like the pros used to use the Polaroid - grab a shot and look for things you might have missed in the viewfinder, then take the shot with a better lens and sensor.

I think the big point to the new iphone is the price point which is $300 cheaper than last version yet can do even more. The word is that last version was testing new features that initally cost more but now that they have production and a similar iphone, costs can be reduced. Much like when the first, special edition copy of anything comes out and then is a win. Tooling is done so mass production is now easy and costs less. The new iphone should cost around $700. My iphone 6 cost me $500 a few years back and for two hundren more the next iphone is much better ... if you need it?

Just for the record, I use my iphone for everything from calls, maps, guided directions, notes taken with the camera, reminders and general information (was asked to fix a laptop but the writing on it's bottom was so small I couldn't read it so ... took a picture with the iphone and enlarged it. The owner couldn't read it either!). And I've used the flash light feature too to see in the dark. I do not take serious pictures with it though.

$700 will get you the lowest priced iPhone 11, that has 2 cameras, not the 3 in the more expensive models. I think your point is well taken.
