iPhone? Unlikely but not impossible. We’ve come a heck of a long way already and AI/machine learning processing will allow these cameras to “catch up”

But there’s absolutely no reason why 95% of our hobby couldn’t be significantly easier. Everything is an engineering problem. This hobby could be automated to be as simple as using PHD2s “press here, dummy” mantra. Press a few buttons and let the software hardware do EVERYTHING.
There is absolutely no reason why this hobby needs to be as complex as it is besides being a small market and therefore not a lot of resources to solve the problems.

Products like the ASIAIR are showing the way. They are the future of the hobby and versions 5, 6 and beyond will show how unnecessary it is to be complex (unless you’re a tinkerer). Others will compete in that space as well.
And then you’ll have adaptive optics miniaturised for the home user.
