Oh goodness me, no!

My iPhone 17 Pro has four microphones and no way to control the input.

Actually, that works sort of ok for recording the community orchestra at the local Senior Center so that the members can watch it on a private YouTube channel (my wife is the director) but it doesn't beat out the M+S array I have feeding my Zoom F3. Likewise, I used my iPhone to record rehearsal clips I used in the Preview reel for the operetta I produced a couple weeks ago. This is what that sounds like mounted on a tripod using the internal mic array.


So while the iPhone has its uses, as a dedicated vocal or voice/over mic, just say, no.
