I would hope they have some feature for automatic backup to your phone over bluetooth or such today.

Bluetooth is slow. The transport is 3Mbps at max, if you subtract all the headers from different layers, you may have like 1.5-2Mbps practical transfer speed.

Sounds like the "or such" wins, but even with bluetooth speeds that means you're backing up 1-5 photos per minute and that helps a lot.

They do transfer, but it's not automatic.

My Nikon ZF transfers to my phone through Nikon's SnapBridge app automatically.

Oh, that's cool, kudos to Nikon, could be a good reason to switch over from Fuji.

WiFi is a little faster I guess? In the primitive days people used the EyeFi.

You would often not have wifi available, and you wouldn't want to have to type in wifi passwords to your camera all the time. But your phone will almost always be nearby and persistent bluetooth is easy.

Wifi between your camera and the phone. Or your camera and a laptop in your bag or whatever...
