I meant whether the camera(s) in the iphone are good enough for the majority of use cases now.
On paper, they surely aren't but given the computational enhancements, they just might be (other than for long tele shots).

I can't answer for the iphone but the note 12 is nowhere close to good enough. There are several issues I frequently run into ranging from stopping motion and no way to know the shutter speed or similar; to critical focus is frequently off if the subject area is busy. Then critical sharpness is frequently off. You can get some nice snap shots but there are times I wish i would dig out my camera. I'd post a couple of note 12 images but too much effort to manually downsize to 500KB. I personally will never own an iphone for many reasons but I'm not particularly attached to the note 12 or samsung phones.
