Buying an iPhone 11 just for the camera is a rather expensive exercise. Whilst you can buy a rather good DSLR for the price of an iPhone it will be far bulkier and not have the same level of advanced features. Having said that, some Android phones, especially those at iPhone level prices have very good cameras as well. In my experience an Oppo R2 outperforms a Canon EOS-1000D. My biggest gripe with smartphone cameras is that they are too wide-angle. Digital zoom simply trades pseudo-telephoto capability for resolution.
