I have always been a proponent of any camera one has, so long as they're enjoying photography and all the joy it brings. For many who want more control and professional gear we upgrade accordingly to get more out of it as a hobby or a profession in some cases. Personally, I use the iPhone much more for photography these days if the subject is more worthy of point and shoot than setting up for a real shoot somewhere.
It seems like Apple is putting a lot of energy into their camera systems, being the primary goal on their annual upgrade cycle and while the software and brains have gotten infinitely better over the years, they've always lacked in the lens department until recently. Apple has found a supplier for a new telephoto lens that may offer up to 10x optical zoom, this is an area that all point and shoot smartphones have been unable to compete with DSLR/mirrorless.
No matter how great they make the camera, a pea sized lens will only ever be so great without a serious physical change to allow for larger glass but it's interesting to see them going to these lengths and the camera system is obviously their primary focus.
