Given the dialog here I'm not gonna go read the article, but I will say this: I'm a relatively enthusiastic hobby photographer. Our vacation in 2018 was the first time I realized that my phone's camera (at the time, an iPhone 8) was "good enough" to participate meaningfully in vacation photography. By the time of our next vacation the following summer, I'd worked out a workflow to include phone pics into Lightroom with the images out of my "real" camera. There was still an appreciable gap in quality in some contexts, but in iPhone-friendly situations the shots were definitely competitive with the Olympus. Since then I've upgraded both camera (to a full-frame Sony) and phone (to an 11 Pro). The gap still exists, but it's not NEARLY what it was, and in many contexts I'll CHOOSE to use the phone instead of the camera. Given the potato-quality images out of the early camphones, and even the early iPhones, that's a very very amazing and cool progression.
