I kind of agree with both points. When I take pictures out around town with my 7+ and my Sony RX100mk3, I'm amazed at how much better the iPhone pictures look-- at least on the iPhone screen, compared with the janky beat-up sony screen.
... then i get them into lightroom on a 5k display and I can immediately tell from the watercolor effect which photos were taken on the iphone -- often without zooming in at all.
Though the dynamic range looks better from the iPhone, likely only because it outputs jpegs and I'm using RAW on the Sony. Sometimes I use the iPhone shot as the reference for how to tweak+process the Sony pictures, which look better after said processing.
