my camera phone has been able to do longer exposures for quite some time now. some apps even have astro mode. my phone will do long exposure instead of using the flash, and expects the user to hold the camera steady (ha!) but i'm assuming uses a lot of stacking.

and yes, if you want good long exposure, you don't want to do it hand held. but the "AI" is doing a lot in the post processing to fool you into thinking hand held is an option
