Why is filming with an iPhone a bad idea?

"Why is shooting a film or documentary with an iPhone a bad idea? I'm developing a film course for filmmakers and students who have chosen to use the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Blackmagic Camera app to shoot their projects. I want to be fair and balanced and include all the reasons not to use the iPhone and choose another format. I plan to present these reasons in point form. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello there,
As I am also an IOS user so what I experienced after filming with an Iphone is that it has smaller sensor and lens limitations mean lower quality in low light and less control over depth of field. Battery life, storage, and overheating can be issues too. Also, the built-in audio isn't great, and while stabilization is good, it's not as good as professional rigs. Finally, some might not take an iPhone-shot film as seriously in professional settings.
Hope this helps you
