So we should call those shots snapshots when made on a phone. Well, the only thing you need to know when shooting with dslrs is to move the dial to Auto/P. If you want to play with DOF, move it to Av. If you want to shoot the dog, move it to Tv and 1/500. If you want to shoot an airshow move it to 1/1200 or higher. Is that too much? :D

I'm getting serious "you can build Dropbox yourself quite trivially" vibes here. I mean, people don't even turn their flash off in broad daylight…

It's really that easy. Ppl like to complicate things A LOT. Just to look more important.

I'm going to tell your mother you said that.

Phone-cameras produce muddy trash. Ever tried to make a good portrait with difficult light? That was the reason i began photographing seriously, because the photos i made with my phone on the galacon a year prior were trash.
And yeah u have to learn how to properly use a dedicated camera which is why i only shoot with manual settings, for casuals phones are enough.
Sure, the DSLR is the obvious choice if you're a serious photographer, but most people aren't serious photographers. If they buy a DSLR or mirrorless camera, they're going to use the kit lens and leave the mode dial on auto. For people who just want to point and shoot, the iPhone's computational brilliance shines through.
The iPhone isn't so much a camera as a generative algorithm that happens to use image sensor data as a prompt. That's infuriating if you're a photographer who just wants full control over a big sensor, but it's tantamount to magic if you don't know what an f-stop is and have no inclination to learn.
I'd bet that if you gave my mother an iPhone and a DSLR, she'd get consistently better images from the iPhone, even if we gave her a one-day crash course on photography first. Sure, she might fluke the odd decent photo with the DSLR, but 90% of the time, the iPhone's algorithmic guesswork is going to beat better imaging hardware with dumber software.
