>>4158763phones still aren't very good, they're still way below point and shoots just because apple can't defy basic physics. so now they smudge in a bunch of fake details and anyone viewing it on a screen bigger than the phone that took it can see the photos look weird.
girls with iphone 14 pro maxxi pads and dimsun galaxy 23 ultra pros compliment my micro four thirds snapshits because the quality wows them and they look "soulful" (camera noise with minimal correction is film grain to them)
real cameras are also way more durable and less expensive than phones, and having one decent camera liberates you from one more excuse to participate in the biyearly phone upgrade cycle as well as having the NSA scan all your photos
