basically, except for the family pictures application, documentation (traffic accident) or "art"/hobby, noone needs a camera anymore, because today, everything there is, is already documented a thousand times, available in the mediocre quality for free, anytime, with an internet connection. The first two categories are well served by any smartphone camera nowadays, which leaves the third. And here I think that this is still served best by a dedicated device because you are basically really interested in taking pictures of a certain quality. And no, the current state of the art in fake-bokeh will not really hit this group (it's a very small group though and the instagram-people with their nice portraits will probably go for the fake too. Though they probably could just do a 3D-scan of the person and then do a render (no more bad hair. no more bad skin. pure perfection). Doesn't necessarily have a lot to do with photography though).
