Bike computer vs iPhone

My bike computer is having problems. I only use it for current speed, time and distance. I use Map My Ride on my Iphone to keep track but not for real time info.
Can smart phones replace a bike computer? The one advantage I can think of is it is on until I am finished. My Iphone goes dark after a couple of minutes to save the battery so I don’t get real time speed without draining the battery.
I was looking at a gps bike computer, I think a Cat Eye. Do these havecany downside?

If I did longer rides that took more than 4-5 hours, yeah I think I would go with iGPSport, their prices are reasonable for the full bundle with turn by turn GPS. But I don't so I think phone will be fine for me.
