I think there's always a place for hardware dedicated for a particular task. Most of my relatives either don't have a smartphone or they still use the basic flip phones, so a simple compact camera simplifies things for them.

While iPhone and Nokia may have a 6 year gap, the other mobile phones probably lag another 3 years behind them.
