The only thing they beat smartphones at is optical zoom. And that's pretty important and one of the few areas where smartphones still lag and can't crack due to their size. Add 10x optical zoom to a new iPhone and watch it crush all former sales records.

Introducing Stable Diffusion Zoom!

Jokes aside, I wonder how much of the computational photography in smartphones today is "hallucinating" and showing something perceptually nice versus photos that are physically accurate.

Something tells me that most users don't care about accuracy of the content as much as it looking nice, so I wouldn't be surprised to see faked optical zoom based on hallucination techniques soon.
