I tried this technique on the iPhone by adding an Aukey 2x telephoto lens. When using a video camera or DSLR/Mirrorless, you can blur the background by using a longer focal length. Portrait mode or a third-party app was not used to produce artificial background blur. Only the iPhone’s optics were used to create the effect. I have done this with a large match-box as my nearby subject. You can see the nearby object is blurred but everything from just beyond the subject out to the far distance is acceptably in focus. Now tap and hold on part of the scene that is in the middle or far distance. Wait until you see AE/AF Lock appear and your subject will be in focus, but the background will be blurred. Now tap and hold on the display where you want in focus. Try putting a small object within about two to four inches (5-10cm) of your iPhone’s lens. So in practice, how can you create those blurry backgrounds using nothing but the optics on your smartphone? As yet, I’ve not seen any examples that look as good as the real thing. Here I’m talking about real optical bokeh and not the synthetic background blur artificially created by more recent smartphones. Generally, the closer your lens is to the subject the blurrier the background will be.
You’ll only get those silky-smooth blurred backgrounds, or bokeh if your subject is close up to your iPhone’s camera lens.
