So far I've used the iPhone to save magazine articles (mostly recipes) from when
I was waiting to see the doctor at the VA and for a couple of things I felt I
needed to document when I didn't have my real camera with me.
And going from iPhone to PC, the few times I've needed to do it emailing the
photos to myself has been adequate.

iPhone photos can be effortlessly transferred to a Mac via Airdrop. Very

In the past I’ve used a lesser phone to document ideas I may later want to
pursue as newspaper or magazine articles, usually with the intention of
shooting with a camera subsequently. A few phone pics have made it into print
because they were there when needed. I will probably use the 12 professionally
on occasion. But its lack of long lens capability is limiting. However, it’s
just what I need for family pics and social events.

For android to mac there is Android file transfer, which is a glorious pain in
the ass to get it to actually connect. It’s as if both Android and Apple want
to say that it can be done, but they both go out of their way to make it
difficult.
There is also an Android App Wifi File Explorer which allows you to point a
browser to your android’s file system and download files over wifi. It has
issues, but it works, and I expect it will work with any OS.
Which is adequate for the limited use I make of the cell phone camera.
I'm sort of the inverse ... If you can photograph it with a proper camera why
use the phone?
I basically use my camera for photography and my cell phone for documentation.
I have a Pixel 3 which is supposed to have one of the best phone cameras
available, I just don’t like the feel of the images. Their automatic processing
to jpeg doesn’t please me, and the raw files are too brittle to get what I
like. I probably have a few photos from the phone that don’t suck, I’ve just
never expended the effort to process them.
An ongoing wish among many is to apply the computational photography thrown at
phone sensors to camera sensors.
You can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
The funny thing about my photography is that there are a fair number of people
who are much more pleased by my photos than I am, so I often don’t worry
overmuch whether I would like it, I just try to get something the person I’m
taking the photo for would like.
