In AP Full frame etc. doesn't mean a thing!
Its the physical size (and pixel size) that makes the difference.....
I think there are amateurs who have never seen 35mm film......

The (D)SLR is alive and kicking ! The 35mm film is indeed dead.
And Full Frame means much ! Same sensor size as a 35mm film negative (24x36mm), the greater the sensor, the better suitable for AP, but the 14.8x22.2mm APS-C is still well suited for AP.
Completely different from the phonecam, even an iPhone X (the best phonecam there is) with its matchhead sized sensor boasting f/1.8 is still very tiny and captures only 1/15 as much light compared with an APS-C camera with a 24mm f/2 lens.
glend: If you buy a new Pentax, you can keep all your lenses, and the K1 has a very good reputation as a fullframe.
