The threat to the industry definitely appears to be the bigger hurdle, but don't discount workflow. Offloading from an iPhone is non-trivial, especially when all big-budget movies employ at least one DIT (if not an entire team) to manage this process.

Unfortunately this hits at the development of a culture of complacency.
I was on a commercial film shoot a few years ago for a production company from the east coast (New York area, I believe). They wanted to shoot on the salt flats but many had no knowledge of the flats or the challenges associated with them. They had all the proper permits, gear, clearances, and even a handful of local salt flat production veterans. But the shear lack of knowledge about the salt flats lead to four vehicles getting stuck in the salt, more than half of the day lost (it was a two day shoot), and what I was told was a very expensive bill from the towing company (who had to use an old snowcat) and the BLM who manages the land and is responsible for cleaning up the divits. Lesson learned: never take the salt flats for granted.
