I shoot with a DSLR whenever I care about the final images. My iPhone is handy for random snapshots but I am virtually never satisfied with the color or the resolution. The photos in this comparison video could not be more stark in showing the advantages of a prosumer DSLR over the iPhone. Pay attention to the coarse JPEG compression artifacts in the hair and skin texture, and the terribly artificial skin colors.
Yeah, DSLR will always make a smartphone camera look like rubbish. Be it crushed colorspace, jpeg compression, no optical zoom, lack of ability to focus, no shutter speed control, etc and the list goes on.
The point of a smartphone camera is to be able to take impulse photos. That is all. If you are seriously using it to take photos of your wedding, or produce a 4K film get your head examined because you lose 75% of the color and resolution with jpeg compression even if you lightly compress it to retain the details.
Not an expert, but I think the Canon shot looks more natural.
Any DSLR with good lens will be better than phone but no DSLR will ever be as handy as phone. And depending of used lens you can get nice art bokeh compare to simple blur.
