I'm playing around with a Nikon D3300 and took a few panoramas with it and was disappointed that the panorama resolution was only 9600x1080, which is less than 10MP. How come iPhone 6S is able to get a 63MP panorama when these DSLR cameras end up giving very low quality panos?
Got a tip for us?

The D3300 is a pretty low end DSLR. I'd guess it doesn't have the processing horsepower to handle more than that. Use software, if you'd like a better quality image.

Probably from the specifications on the iPhone page? Which says "up to 63 megapixels".

I use software to stitch the panoramas together. There are some interesting open source stitchers as well as several camera manufacturers software that comes bundled with your camera.
You don't agree? It's the lowest on the Nikon range of DSLR's. Which means it's image processing power is likely more limited than the higher end units. Which, in any case, don't offer a built-in Panoramic mode, most likely because they expect more advanced users to use software to create a panoramic image, rather than depending on in-camera image manipulation.
