One of the main reasons I shoot with an actual camera body is exactly because it has a camera body. The ergonomics of shooting with a phone are terrible.

Obviously phones will never fit in your hand like that, so both will continue to exist because they serve different purposes. I am glad that phone sensors are getting bigger since when you don't have your camera on you they do a fine job (when you avoid the in-cam processing by shooting raw)

For me it's that and the conscious decision to get a camera ready and take it along for the ride.

I'm not sure if it makes senses, but to me that's an attitude shift in how I take photos.

For what its worth, the volume up button is the shutter button too which helps sometimes. It used to work with wired headphones too.

For video I much prefer iPhone with a gimbal though. And the gimbal, with its built in stick and tracking, makes me much more creative for stills than I am with my traditional cameras.

Both pale in comparison to the creativity I feel with a 360 camera though. Image quality ain’t everything.

You can get a grip accessory that makes it feel more ergonomic.

On the other hand, the best camera is the one that you have with you, so having a better photo camera is always a great thing.
