Quite easy to navigate.

The picture quality is now excellent really, and the ability to synchronise instantly to the cloud Photo app across all devices (with backup too) is invaluable for sharing. Plus the capability to upload instantly to what's app, signal, Facebook, instagram etc is super convenient. We have family in Netherlands and Germany so we use social media quite a bit for quickly shared photo and video.
We still use the pro Canon gear, but mainly for travel (remember that) and horticultural / wildlife things we want to put on our website.
The iPhone and Android versions have in many ways changed the world and how we see it.

I couldn't disagree more. If you're happy taking photos in auto mode then I suppose phone cameras will suit most people but if you are a keen photographer you'll want control over file type, focal length, ISO, shutter speed and aperture. There are some apps around which improve the versatility of phone cameras but they still have a very long way to travel before they can be compared to a proper camera.
