But how much control do you have with that telephoto phone lens? The phone still controls the shutter, aperture, and iso, no?

I think it depends on what you want to do with your photos. If you plan on marketing them in some manner, then yes, probably a dedicated camera is needed. Otherwise, a cellphone camera does a respectable job, and they’re getting better, and there are apps that allow for at least a certain amount of manual control, including ISO, shutter speed, focusing, etc. And by the way, the camera in a cellphone is a real camera. Just a small one.

Just got a fairly new Motorola Edge +. Not easy to handle as the "Edges" are at the edges which makes for inadvertant touching of things you don't want to touch on the edges of the phone.
What I wanted to point out is that it has 3 different lenses with respectable f stops, a wide angle a lens that is "Standard" issue, and a telephoto. I haven't had time to work with them yet, but no manual so I have to figure out their operation. I go online to get information.
