Depends on what you're after. "Automatic computational photography"? the camera manufacturers have nothing. But I'd argue it doesn't really matter. If you're going out of your way to carry a big-ass camera (and even the micro 4/3 models are huge compared to an iphone - they don't fit in any jeans' pockets), you probably don't care for "software enhancements on the go", and you'll put your pictures through some kind of non-automatic processing on a computer at home anyway. Now, I haven't tested the iphone 15 pro, but the 14 pro can't hold a candle to a 2016 Olympus Pen-F (micro 4/3 format) when it comes to gradients, details, etc. And when that camera came out, it wasn't even state of the art, it's just what I have lying around to compare. The iPhones look great at night when you compare them to other phones, but they're absolute garbage when compared to an actual camera, even many years old. Even the "software revolution" can't help them. But, they absolutely wipe the floor with actual cameras when you need something that fits in your pocket. A camera in your hand is infinitely better than a camera at home you didn't bother to drag around town with you. And it's the reason why, as a tripod carrying-dude, I love my iphone: I have it with me all the time, and it allows me to take pictures the pen-f sitting in a drawer at home can only dream about. But when I like what I've shot with the phone, I'll haul the pen-f the next day if possible and take a picture of the same spot that will actually get printed.
