This is going to sound unintentionally confrontational but I’ll put up one of my DSLR portrait shots against your phone shots any day.

Good enough? Maybe. Better than a much larger sensor and better lens? No way.

And what do you use those photos for?

I’m only going to sound realistic

I’m a professional photographer, so...

Even if I wasn’t, I love large prints and we always have some up in our house. Cell phone pictures are fine if you’re looking at them on your phone - not so much at 20x30”.

> The iPhone 12 Pro is better than EVIL & DSLR cameras

goalshifted into "it is ok enough for this single type of photo + light".

A daguerreotype was probably superior processing technology than film with paper but it wasn’t convenient or superior enough to remain an option.

That's where we are today, and that's what "better" colloquially means.
