iPhone 5 pictures arent very sharp

well their not exactly taken at the same settings so its hard to compare. also the iphone was taken at f2.4 versus f2.6 for the galaxy. So this could be the reason everything else is blurry compared to the galaxy. If the photo was taken at f8.0 everything will be in focus fwiw.

Actually "bokeh" is any part of the picture that is out of focus.
"In photography, bokeh (Originally play /ˈboʊkɛ/,[1] play /ˈboʊkeɪ/ BOH-kay also sometimes heard as play /ˈboʊkə/ BOH-kə,[2] Japanese: [boke]) is the blur,[3][4] or the aesthetic quality of the blur,[5][6][7] in out-of-focus areas of an image. Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".[8] However, differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.[3] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions."

That's not what I'm seeing. For example, the vertical lines on the shed are more pronounced in the ip5 pics, and also the wood detail on the fence is much easier to see. In general, the more washed out a picture is, the less detail.
No.
Anything focused beyond a few feet will have basically infinite DoF due to the small sensor size, even at f2.4.
