In addition to using reporters w/iPhones, the newspaper also relies on the services of freelance photographers, many of whom (I'm assume) would be using DSLRs.

Many of whom are also possibly their former staff photogs.

The Nokia !020 seems to be an early precedent for eventual DLSR/smartphone parity, at least practically speaking. Much more convenient, and software will make up for many of the hardware deficiencies.

Software can't compensate for physics; many more photons can be collected with a bigger sensor and optics.
