or figured OP's request was satisfied, period.
but we are sort of on the same page, and I use both your method

but tend to stick with the DSLR as it gives me the exact photos I need/want,
and from SLR and medium format experience, I can use to my advantage lens length effects, depth of field, back light control, flash/bounce and all the other good stuff,
as well as speed in getting it done asap, and satisfying any impatience to get it done

Quality debate aside

for OP admiralk's immediate requirements the cheap DSLR and OEM macro lens to suit, is a better deal -IMVHO- than stuffing about with phones
Full fast control of the shots, and with manual focus activated, can move in on difficult items in amongst many of different heights,
as well as Depth Of Field options too
My phones have good cameras with 12, 15 or 20mp? if we can believe the fudged specs

and admittedly take great point and
pray shoot pics,
but for speed and versatility the DSLR boots in under a second and it's rock and roll,
pull out the SD card, transfer the pics to the PC,
= job done

..before the phone has booted up and camera icon found

and all the rest of it..
