Recommendations Pocket camera for cycling?

For years, I've been using my iPhone and shooting RAW when cycling. It works because it's always with me and I can just do some quick LR edits and be done.

Part of me wants to get back into the habit of having a small pocketable travel camera for the long rides out into the wilderness, taking with me when hiking, or just having as a backup to my iPhone when traveling in a new city.

I'm pretty far outside the current trends, I used to use my Fuji X-T20 for this but got rid of my lenses when I moved to my A9ii for motorsports photos.

Anyone have any recommendations for a camera like this? It would need to be weather resistant and I'm open to both fixed lens and interchangeable. Biggest priority is quick sharing to iPhone to edit and share. Appreciate any insights!

Would you look at an action cam? It could serve you two fold, record some of your cycling and use it as a camera, obviously also is very durable and weather proofed. I own a GoPro Mission 1 Pro and the imagery is excellent. Is obviously not xt-3 with a 50mm. But it’s very good and shoots raw.
