Buying an iPhone 11 Pro and not using it as a phone would be ridiculous. It's designed under different constraints.
The image sensors are tiny compared to good cameras. More photos hitting the sensor means less need for computational imagery.
The battery in a phone is one day only. A camera's battery will outlast that 5-10x, and you can carry a replacement battery.
Having a focus ring, dials to adjust ISO or aperture or shutter speed, means you can capture challenging shots, where with a smartphone, you point and pray. "Pro" adjustments are with finicky on-screen widgets, that you may not even be able to see in bright daylight or from glare.
If you buy a big DSLR, though, realize it's a hassle to drag it around. If it doesn't fit in your pocket easily, you may not bring it with you, and you can't capture a moment when you don't have your camera with you.
