Apple Launches New 'Shot on iPhone' Campaign in Partnership With NHL

And at that point you aren't shooting on the phone anymore, lol.

Exactly. Any of the ways you could modify the smartphone to work as a credible sports and fast action camera nullify all the things that make your smartphone camera so convenient. If you're going to carry around an external frame and a bunch of camera "LEGO" building bricks to get a suitable grip and lens mount, you might as well just carry around the real thing.

I agree-ish. I can sneak a bunch of lego brick lenses into an arena a lot easier than I can sneak a fullsize camera in, though.

The iPhone has become this decade's Rebel. The Rebel was a real DSLR, but I'm sure you can remember what its low price point and somewhat feature rich hardware allowed a whole slew of people to get into the hobby and never improve.

It's an entry level camera and gets people into the game which may lead to bigger and better things. Personally, I still use t6i for some events with L lenses and it produces excellent images. A good eye can be developed over time regardless of gear. Who would ever recommend spending thousands in gear just to see whether or not you will choose at as more than a hobby?

You missed the point of my post.

This is akin to taking photos on that camera in AUTO mode. 99.9% of photos taken with a phone with the best cameras are going to be utter ****.

I don't think that point was obvious. I'm sure that's what you were thinking when you wrote it, but...

Bad photographers worry about their camera.
Good photographers worry about their lenses.
Great photographers worry about their lighting.

This "iPhone takes great photos" nonsense needs to end. Framing, lighting, proportions etc is what matters the most. Smartphone cameras are commodity items nowadays.

Can confirm. I'm a bad photographer and I only care about my camera's sensor score on DXO.
