Seth, I have a Galaxy S5, and the camera is pretty spiffy. 16MP resolution and lots of interesting features. I've been experimenting with it for solar and lunar shots. I'm getting more and more impressed with the capabilities of smartphone cameras. Here is a lunar shot taken about a month ago, afocally through a 50mm f/12 refractor, using the smartphone: http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/JethroTull1958/002a_zps2d29b864.jpg And here is a shot of the recent partial solar eclipse, same phone but a 50mm f/9 refractor & Baader solar filter material: http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/JethroTull1958/001a_zps8742359c.jpg Copy and paste the links into your browser window if they don't come across as live links. I have the Orion universal smartphone bracket to hold it up to the eyepiece. Takes some fiddling but worth it once adjusted. There are also cable releases available for most smartphones, that plug into the headphone jack. Check eBay or Amazon for your particular model.

Joe, have you tried using your iPhone but not using the flash? Now you've got me wanting to experiment with mine.
