No not anything to do with AI Gigapixel but just a comparison with the sensor size on my Canon 1Ds MkII (16.7MP) and the new iPhone XS which has an "active area" of around 5.6 x 4.2 mm (24 sq mm approx) for 12MP.
This is an insanely small sensor for any kind of photography and if my Canon 1Ds MkII had the same pixel density it would give an image of approx 430MP!
I must admit I have had some prints sent to me (postcard size) from mobile phones and at that size they look fine but whenever I've enlarged images from mobile phones I have been distinctly underwhelmed by the lack of quality.
