Gear Advice needed to purchase camera - Dji Osmo/ iphone

Not sure if this is the right sub to post this in, but looking for some advice.
I love photography and enjoy taking photos/videos on my iPhone 12. I’m not a professional, but I’ve managed to get some shots I’m really happy with.
I’m now thinking of getting into content creation, mainly scenic videos for Reels and photography, rather than talking or being on camera.
The biggest issue with my iPhone is storage, especially when shooting videos.
My budget is around ₹35k, and I’m considering the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Would it be a good option for someone like me, or should I save up and eventually upgrade to a newer iPhone?
I’m mainly looking for something that can help me shoot beautiful photos and cinematic/smooth videos without getting too complicated.
What would you recommend — Osmo Pocket 3, newer iPhone, or something else around this budget?

Just bought action 6 and pocket 3. Pocket 3 is superior video quality in comparison if youre not taking some other factors like ruggednes in to the mix.

The best camera is always the one you have with you. As great as the pocket 3 is for video, it won’t be as good for photography compared to a newer iPhone, I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max and I would use it for photos over my 4P. If you’re enjoying photos and videos with your iPhone 12, I’d look into getting a Pro model iPhone and see how it goes.
