I can't imagine myself using a phone without manual mode camera.
I Love to shoot stars, nightsky, and poorly illuminated wilderness shots. And I hate go to tracking, camping and adventuring in the wilderness carrying a big DSLR. I would never spend hours in a rainy forest, bath on waterfalls and ENJOY my time in the wilderness carrying that kind of bulk.
The cellphone is the best most practical camera for that in my case.
Some shots are impossible to do in a cellphone without manual mode. Like a a nightsky shot with the shadows of the threes below and in front of them.
I go to these places to have good times, not to sell pictures to magazines. But I still want to register my moments in the best way I can.

Note7 owner, 22 Oct 2018Man the note 9 looks ugly next to the iPhone. Maybe yes. But what the Note 9 lacks in external looks, it makes up for internal capabilites like its superior camera capabilities.

When you are comparing two cameras, we can not get any idea about color reproduction of those cameras. Because we do not know the actual colors. If you can provide some samples taken from at least a full frame camera showing natural colors, it will be more help full

Anonymous, 21 Oct 2018Thank you for our conversation, but I am out. There are too... moreJust as I suspected. You never had a dSLR--- or any interchangeable lens camera for that matter. For a while, I thought you were someone well versed in photography until your answers provided me clues of your photographic innocence. Your latest answer below regarding stopping down a "mainstream" fast F/1.4 lens just so I can attempt to "get them anywhere near premium lenses in terms of quality" is another proof of this photographic innocence. Photographers do not stop down fast f/1.4 lenses to make them "match or resemble more expensive lenses in photographic quality". It's an answer that can never come from a person who knows photography. No need to go on with this conversation. I can perfectly understand why you will never miss manual controls in a phone camera app.

There are too many logical fallacies that you mention and consider them to be facts/proof, so all I can recommend is to get more experience and knowledge in photography. It’s not hard, you just have to want to take the journey there - that is if you are actually interested in this.
As for gear, I have “some” insight on the mainstream vs. premium lenses. Indeed, as you and everyone else says, and it’s a fact, you get diminishing results the more money you pay, but that is normal for every premium product you can buy. A $300,000 car is not ten times faster than a $30,000 car. A $10,000 pair of very high fidelity speakers is not 10x louder or bassy-er than a $1,000 pair. In fact, they might be even quieter than the “cheaper” ones. You can either accept it or complain about it endlessly, but that 5-10% extra on top of the mainstream quality will always go up almost exponentially in price.
You can stop down fast, mainstream lenses, but they will not get anywhere near premium lenses in terms of image quality. This has more to do with the quality of the glass, the coating(s) or the lack thereoff, and the optical formula.
Also, most photographers understand and cherish natural-looking colours and tones, so guess which one of these two phones wins. By preferring samsung’s derailed colours, it can only mean that you are at the start of your photographic journey, but no worries, take your time and discover more.
P.S.
Search for “iPhone manual camera” apps if you really need such things. There are tons of them.
I shoot manual most of the time on my cameras, but I have almost never felt the need to go beyond automatic on my phones.
