I sure can on my Nikon cameras. I suppose you think I'm not very funny, though.

I can when I’m in portrait mode on my 14 pro max. There’s an f symbol in a circle at the upper right hand above the frame that when pressed will give you that option. You should be able to do the same on your 15.

PS. Ignore the trolls

Yep. Although when shooting with my iPhone I often just point and shoot. The controls are so wonky that the scene is often gone before I could capture the shot. Also there is a bokeh setting that works pretty well.

More than you asked for but in the recent PSA magazine there are two articles on phone photography. Excellent work.

Look no further than the gallery to see just how interchangeable lens cameras serve trolls in their photography. Just sayin’.

You might want to post this in the Smartphone Photography section.

No. I have one. I can control ISO and shutter time. Aperture is fixed for each lens.

With a sensor that small, it would be pointless to stop down. You would degrade contrast and sharpness with diffraction.

Smartphone cameras serve a different purpose from dSLRs and MILCs. I own the phone for the dozens of other uses I make of it, not just because it has a great point-and-shoot camera that's always with me.

If I'm doing intentional photography, I pull out my dedicated camera gear. If I'm trying to live "in the moment," I take the iPhone and try to resist getting on it unless I need to.

I hope someone gives you a smart a__ answer when you have a question.

I can actually make a call with my Galaxy 23.
Yes it goes on the net, emails. Apps and games.
I was very happy to see I can make and receive calls.
All tongue and cheek

If you switch to Portrait, then swipe up from the text line containing "Portrait", you will get a number of controls including aperture (script f). Touch that and you can adjust aperture. This is a software implementation, but everything about an iphone is software. Just slide the aperture scale around and see the background blur or sharpen.

It's a simulation of a change in depth of field, not an actual change in aperture, but yes, it can be effective. The nice thing about it is, it does not change exposure!
