Does my camera/lens need repair, or are iPhones just better?

Someone asked me to photograph a painting for them, since I have a "good" camera. I used a Canon 80D with a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens, set to f11 with a shutter speed of 125. All focus points lit up when I auto-focused on the canvas. I also took a snapshot with my iPhone 12 mini, using whatever the camera settings decided. The iPhone image is clearly sharper and shows more detail in the texture of the paint and the canvas.
You can compare the two images here. Is it just the auto-sharpening of the iPhone image? Later I did some sharpening with Photoshop but it feels like the Canon didn't capture the information in the first place, particularly in the white shirt.
