With the newer technology, I don't see stand-alone GPS units surviving much longer.
And since the iPhone is constantly updating its maps and computing traffic scenarios, it's always better than stock navigational systems in cars and stand-alone GPS units that only update when you make the effort to do so.
How does your iPhone work in areas with no cell coverage?
In 2015 we towed near 10,000 miles from Texas through AR-LA-MS-AL-FL to Key West - GA - SC - NC - VA - MD - DE - NJ - NY - CT - MA - NH - VT - ME - RI - CT - PA - WV - OH - KY - TN - AR - back to Texas.
Every state had gaps with no cell coverage - both the ATT network and the Verizon network. The mountain areas of New England were among the worst.
But gaps in coverage a couple hundred miles long get common once you get west of a Houston - Dallas - Oklahoma City and north line.
