I remember trying to take a similar picture of my own eye with an DSLR and learning that this close the depth of field was so narrow that if I focus on the surface of the eyeball, the iris would be out of focus. Never before that had I really thought about the fact that there's depth to it. This is really impressive for an iPhone shot.

You really need a dedicated macro lens for this type of shot with a DSLR or mirrorless camera. My phones camera lens was nearly touching her eye and made getting the perfect shot difficult.
