It doesn't match my experience. It's easier to take a decent photo n rough conditions on the iPhone, than a camera. I have Sony a6400, Ricoh grIIIx, Fuji X100V and X-T5. With the iPhone (and androids too) you just point and shoot. With the cameras you do have to fiddle way more or use bracketing and still edit later. The phone does bracketing for you without you even noticing. Plus, the iPhone at least (not sure about android) very easily remove people walking behind the thing you were photographing

i think we're talking about different things: you, the ability to get something passable with minimal effort; me, the ability to get something nice with all the time and effort i can reasonably give. i was a photographer as my sole profession about ten years ago, i am still waiting for the iphone to catch up with the a77 and pancake 50 i used as a backup at the time. the physics part is not easy, there's just so little light to work with
