Its not actually doing any cool aperture settings, its faking it all with software. And depending on the software stack and the picture in question, it can do a pretty bad job at it. I do appreciate the effects at times and use them myself, but on many shots I'll notice the depth of field effects being used in places where it shouldn't like too far on the shoulders, turning the edges of someone's hair to mess, a secondary subject next to but just slightly behind the main subject getting radically out of the fake depth of field, etc.
Most of the photos I take day to day are on my phone's camera, for sure. But when I'm actually wanting to really take some pictures, I bust out an actual camera. My current main goto is my G9x Mark II, which is a lot of fun and can still send photos straight to my phone after shooting so I can easily send them to people right away.
