HLG/HDR is something I really like, only Sony has it. In general video has this "cinematic" spirit/view, totally different in positive way than on iphone where you can easily say it was taken with smartphone.
Currently I'm deciding between iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro and Xperia 1 VI, I learned that it is about compromise, I will plan to get myself Nikon Zf with 28-400mm f4-8 lens and want a waterproof phone to shoot Ultra wide, standard and macro, Xperia 1 VI has 2X macro on the tele but I prefer iOS, 15 Pro have 77mm tele, 16 Pro will have 120mm tele which means the 77mm range will be less quality but not sure iPhone 16 will have macro or not, what do you think?
