I have used Moment Lenses on my IPhone 8+ for several years. They are quality lenses. Now that I have upgraded to the 13 Pro Max, I won't need them anymore.

Just humoring the thread. No need to take things so seriously, unless you work for either Apple or Nikon
That's the difficulty with writing. Vocal inflections are absent. Thus, the interpretations are left to the words alone.

I just like dedicated cameras, half the time I forget my cell phone has a decent camera.
I agree 100% with you. My D800E does so much better than a cell phone. You don't get the quality especially on enlargements. I shot a wedding the other weekend because the hired pro. was a no show. Glad I took my D800E and 5 min before the ceremony, that was the only camera along with 40 cell phones that the others had. I had 100 good pictures that could have enlarged to life size. To say the least, the bride was greatfull. Had I been better advised, I would have been taking pictures an hour before but, that is how it worked out.

They exist. If the phone is your only camera, they can make sense.
I would love to have a "camera with a phone it" and would be fine with a larger phone that had a great camera in it. I use a pixel 3xl and a Red Hydrogen and they're not bad, in fact I think they are impressive.
The idea of a Droid with a very functional camera is here now but I wouldn't mind having one that was was better and more comparable to a dedicated digital camera.
I believe all cameras are tools with their limitations...but they all work with your vision.
Love Photography.

You take your iPhone and increase the size and pixel count of the sensor from 2 or 3 mm, out to 24 to 35 mm. Add a viewfinder and a mount for interchangeable lens. Exposure controls and ISO, autofocus, shutter speed and aperture control. The ability to save images in a Raw format. What you get is a digital camera you can text and make phone calls on.
Think I’ll stick with what I have. A camera for photography and an iPhone for text and voice calls. Maybe the occasional JPEG pic to post on emails or social media.

I don't understand these myopic opinions.
I'm an android person not Apple...just purchased a Galaxy S21 Ultra and love it.
It won't replace my A7R4 and A9II but but definitely there a time and place for it. I could show you images from it and you would be hard pressed to know that it came from a phone...but I won't fool you on purpose.
Its just another tool in my photographic arsenal. Next time I check out the fall scenery it will be with the phone and not a 5 lb weight dangling from my shoulder.
This attitude reminds me on my fussy eater wife who dislikes certain foods and when I ask her if she has tried it, often the answer is no.
