Why do you keep assuming my position for me and assuming that I disagree with you? I have multiple positions, one of them is figuratively standing right there next to you.

Here's the spectrum.

We're both over here. ---> IPhones are not good equipment for big budget, serious projects.

I'm also over here, in the nuance, which does exist between both extremes, where people balance goals, budgets, and methods. Some people have more to work with, in terms of tools, finance, and talent, some people have less. Sometimes, concessions of various types are often made and it affects the final product, sometimes for the worse, sometimes in a charming way, for the better. That films vary so much in quality and in different ways readily illustrates this. If someone wants to use an iPhone, for better or worse that's their creative decision.

IPhones are a good for small projects and people who want to experiment with film making. If people want to make a film for a class assignment, to share on YouTube, or to get their feet wet with film making, they provide an affordable, convenient, and accessible option. <--- I'm right here as well, but you seem to be missing. Come stand on this side of the gap for a minute, the view is great.
