I use a little bit newer Nikon DSLR (~2013), which adds another thing (the first generation of DSLRs wasn't really good at this): Color. The color of iPhones is just bleirgh in comparison, which is a little bit weird considering the cargoculting on HN of Apple's "computational photography".

They're trying to solve two different problems. Nikon want to reproduce colors that are balanced and accurate. Apple want to produced colors that 'pop' and catch peoples eye when scrolling through Instagram.

This is the first comment here on computational photography, which I think is really the reason for traditional camera manufacturers going away. Most high end cellphones this generation can do stellar photography.
My dream is a camera with a nice sensor/lens and an iphone brain. It likely already exists, up there orbiting the earth...
