Hardly headline news - a $1,700 camera with >$1,000 lenses is better than a $1,000 phone with a camera attached. If anything the gap is closer than it has ever been. Irrespective, there is litterally nothing stopping someone from having an iPhone and a dedicated camera, or if there is, then I (and practically everyone I know) are breaking some sort of rule somewhere dictated by the overlords at Apple HQ that thy shall not use a camera.
