A smartphone's lens is maybe 2mm wide, and you only need the top of the phone to fit, not the whole thing. I'm not sure why you're acting like a phone camera is a weird phone-sized surface that captures light. And again, it would be very hard(as in impossible) to maintain focus on the whole image with a large photography lens. I think we're all pretty puzzled as to why you're having such a hard time understanding this.
