The pros are well aware of the gains made by phone cameras. Sensors and pixels aren't the primary factor for choosing say, a $10,000 camera, over an iPhone. Reliability, battery life, form factor, control ergonomics, lens compatibility, codecs, ease of integration with third-party equipment, standards compliance, and on it goes. I don't think the opinion is that an iPhone can't make a nice image, just that they are woefully insufficient for many needs for reasons other than the sensor and processing algorithms.
