Yes, you can control a serial port from an iPhone. This can be achieved using the capabilities provided by the Core Bluetooth framework, which allows you to connect to Bluetooth peripherals and interact with their services and characteristics.
For example, in the session Meet AccessorySetupKit, it is demonstrated how to connect to a Bluetooth peripheral, discover its GATT services, and read or get notified of updates. This can be used to control devices that communicate over Bluetooth, which can include serial port communication.
Additionally, the session Go small with Embedded Swift shows how to use Swift's interoperability to control hardware devices, which can include serial communication over USB or other interfaces.
Here are the relevant sessions mentioned:
