This is a topic I could discuss all day. As a photographer, it angers me to see tons of people out there blowing $1000 or more on cameras they will never full utilize, nor take the lessons needed to operate them to their maximum potential.
Most point and shoot cameras these days are so advanced, they can take amazing party pics, fun baby pics, and blow your camera phone out of the water.
The main component is the optics. Sure, the new iphone has decent optics on it from factory. However the fact that the last layer of optics are exposed to the elements, scratching, you dropping it in a drunken rage, only reinforces the idea that you're better off having an actual camera on hand for pics you care about.
The processor is faster, the optics are more robust, and the images are just better. Your camera on that phone has to share electronics with a ton of other things like signal receivers, antenna's, and other phone stuff which don't allow for much flexibility.
Just do yourself a favor, buy even a simple point and shoot. You won't regret it.
