I would guess close to 0% of people, IFF we're looking at the photos side by side on a phone screen, or maybe a crappy laptop screen. Put them both on a hi-res display, or HD TV or (even better) print them out in large format. Then there's no comparison. So it really comes down to how is the photo going to be used. And for 99% of photos taken these days, viewing it on a small screen is the purpose, so the phone camera is perfectly good enough.

For this picture specifically, which is the one OP was talking about: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50730c37e4b03adec668905b/1603176722265-H0FSBKFAMQV25X9PEFHX/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kOT4XFbjPh2wviguHcWSfHx7gQa3H78H3Y0txjaiv_0fDoOvxcdMmMKkDsyUqMSsMWxHk725yiiHCCLfrh8O1z5QHyNOqBUUEtDDsRWrJLTmS0k9nmfOWkBD2X4dgpGrpTPEppH71Jxj5Xy1txktWwN6z35OdSjbl9A5nuJM5etC/IMG_1686.jpg?format=750w https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50730c37e4b03a... Yes, anyone could tell the difference between this taken on a dedicated camera and this taken on iPhone. Really, anyone. No matter the resolution. It really does just look like a blurry mess. A cheap 150$ DSLR with a bottom-bargain Chinese or very old lens (at say, F1.4 or lower) would provide significantly better results.

  I think that this was the image referenced with the "woman in a park" in the initial post https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50730c37e4b03adec668905b/1603178865884-05EVQ5V89D6P01O4OWOD/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kFn01b69qibFV6p4ATINgYx7gQa3H78H3Y0txjaiv_0fDoOvxcdMmMKkDsyUqMSsMWxHk725yiiHCCLfrh8O1z5QHyNOqBUUEtDDsRWrJLTmaHJ0CCIp0h94CjFWATtzumDyWwG6cTlYaiji1mbxg2_decyTpAb-46CnvkjVgn6l/IMG_1301.jpg?format=1500w https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50730c37e4b03a...

    Oh, I read "woman in a parka" instead, and in combination with "blurry, smeared" I concluded that it was the image at night.

      GP is the only person I can find in this thread referencing "woman in a park". Everyone else is talking about the "woman in a parka". I think you were correct in your assumption before. People are talking about the image without the dog.
