Worth noting that angular resolution and DOF/defocus is related to absolute aperture size, not f-number, so you can also just plug in the values for "f" to compare.

The iPhone 6 has f=4.15mm, a lens with similar FOV on an 8x10 has f=200mm.

200mm / 64 = 3.1mm -> the size of an f/64 aperture on a 200mm lens.

4.15mm / 2.2 = 1.9mm -> the size of on f/2.2 aperture on the iPhone 6.

Although the 8x10 will often have less defocus due to movements (photographer control of focal plane).
