While smartphones like the iPhone have made significant advancements in camera technology, they may need to match the capabilities of dedicated cameras for real estate photography.  The iPhone's camera can produce decent results for casual shots, but it may need help capturing the full dynamic range and wide-angle views needed for real estate images.  Dedicated cameras offer greater control over settings, lens options, and image quality.  However, the iPhone can be a convenient tool if you're working with a limited budget or need quick, on-the-go snapshots. Just be mindful of potential limitations in image quality and wide-angle capabilities.
