I just bought a new iPhone 15 Pro Max. It is more than sufficient for my casual imaging needs.
I do plan to replace my Micro 4/3 Lumix GH4 with a Lumix G9 Mark II, however. It has a more realistic 25 MP Micro 4/3 sensor in it. Remember, with about 1/4 the physical area, that's almost like a 100MP full frame sensor when it comes to photo receptor site (sensel) size. That is not an issue for what I need to do, but it would hamper some folks' games.
The sensors you listed seem more appropriate for spy work, industrial applications, and yes, smartphones that have megapixel bragging rights.
More is not necessarily better!

That seems to be the case. I have a Samsung S23 Ultra and I prefer the regular 12MP jpgs to the 200MP DNG files it can also produce. Seems odd to me. But perhaps these DNGs are different and do not process properly with my old version of ACR 9.1.1 and Ps CS6, yet the DNGs I get from my FF Pentax K-1 mark ii process fine. My guess is that the 50 and 200 MP image files are simulated interpolated and not native high pixel count. The 50 and 200 MP jpgs are better though.
