Cell phone cameras will catch up to DSLR quality?

I'll stick to my position: mobile phone photos, iPhone 6 included, suck. The bar has been moved immeasurably low, and it's just tragic.
Boy, someone had an extra serving of bad attitude pie this morning!
when you factor in where mobile iphoneography has come, to say it's "moved immeasurably low" is just incorrect. Compare the camera in a cell phone from 5 years ago and compare to what is in there now. Not to mention to get any decent photo from a stinky device of this size is pretty great if you ask me.

I don't disagree with your comparison re: progress. I simply find that, overall, the quality of the photos that people find acceptable is low. And my observation is that "wonderful images from a iPhone (etc)" tend to have poor quality.
I don't have a bad attitude, I have a very high bar. On the other hand, I'm learning to be more politic when asked what I think about an image.

Yeah I also hold a high bar as well. I would like to see you get a really large acceptable print from a phone camera. The only cameras that they will catch up to and pass, maybe are P&S cameras. I think it will be more like they will have a similar image quality.
