Black Swan used a Canon 7D: https://nofilmschool.com/2010/12/darren-aronofskys-black-swa...
The funny part is I would not want to shoot a professional film with a phone. How would I recharge it? Dedicated cameras offer pop-out batteries and storage. iPhone won't let you do that.
I think you completely misunderstood the message. It’s not “professional high-end cameras are going to die”. It’s “you can have a wonderful camera in your pocket”.

Batteries packs on the dollies. You’d know, had you read the article.
I think you miss my point. There's fancy tech but really nothing new, therefore it's all marketing. GoPro can be used for movie magic, as well, and it fits on a helmet. I've edited on reel-to-reel film once, so I've seen the digital evolution. It's been great!
Also, my other point is Apple will keep designing it as a multi-use touch device, so it won't EVER be a dedicated device for movie making. When will the device be antiquated? When will the apps and OS need updating? When you use it, is there telemetry?
