Best camera phone for birding (lemmy.world)

I have a fancy camera for birding. Ok so I have several fancy cameras for birding. And binoculars. And tripods and monopods and spotting scopes. I have a lot of stuff!!! But I cannot have that stuff with me at all times. What I do have is my phone. So my question is, if I wanted to acquire a phone that would give me the best chance of capturing those opportunities that occur where one of our fine feathered friends decides to show off, what is my best choice? Should I just get the latest super pro max iPhone or is there some Android variant like the pixel or latest Samsung that should be considered? Or is there something else entirely?

My Samsung S23 has done pretty well. It's digital zoom is pretty good and even the blurring was acceptable to Merlin picture ID.
