No need for another product to control via bluetooth. I use the Hue BT app on Android, I think it must exist for iPhone. To control via wifi though you will need the bridge in my opinion.
The Philips Hue outdoor LED strip (RGBW, 500 cm) is flexible, but cannot be bent or angled at 90 degrees. It is designed to be laid continuously and does not support sharp corners or 90 degree bends, as this could damage the strip or affect its operation. It is recommended that it is laid in gentle curves or straight lines to ensure optimum use.
Yes, you can only use the Philips Hue app on your phone to adjust the LED strip. The app allows you to control, customise and organise Philips Hue lights, including outdoor LED strips, from your smartphone, even remotely via an internet connection.
Yes, it is possible to cut the LED strip at certain specific points marked with a scissors symbol. For a length of 4 metres, the strip should only be cut at these points to avoid damaging its operation. These cutting points are indicated on the strip itself and help to maintain the electrical and lighting integrity of the product.
It does not have an adhesive strip, but you can certainly stick it on with suitable adhesive tape. The strip has a flat underside. But beware, it is somewhat thicker and heavier than the cheap strips, so it is best to use a high-quality (outdoor) adhesive tape.
The Outdoor Lightstrip from Philips Hue can display colour gradients and not just one colour at a time. It supports RGBW colours, which means that it can take on a variety of colours and white tones and these can also be displayed simultaneously or in sequences.
the product is not expandable in the sense that you cannot attach pieces under the same power supply. You have to in your case buy one strip of five and one strip of two. The packages come with everything you need for assembly. You will have two power supplies. There is also a specific extension cable that allows you to keep the two power supplies close to each other.
1) only Philips knows.
2) the sum of the Watt requirement of every piece must be less or equal to the transformer output. If not you can use multiple transformers or buy a bigger one.

As far as I know, you need a bridge for each Hue product. This must be purchased separately (if you do not already have one).
The link would be this: Philips Hue Bridge
With the bridge you can connect any Hue product and you only have to buy it once.
If the price is too expensive for you, I recommend you to look for a used bridge, which you can buy for relatively little money.
Kind regards
