APEXELMacro Lens Kit for Smartphone,10X Macro Lens + CPL Filter with Multi-Function Lens Clip for iPhone 16/15/14/13 Pro Max, Samsung, Android Phone (Fits for Almost All Phone), Lens Attachment

Update December 16, 2025: The company saw my review about problems with the iPhone 16 and they've offered a replacement. I didn't expect this because I thought I just made a mistake and bought the wrong thing. I am very impressed by the excellent service. Thank you, Apexel. Updating to five stars due to the great service._____________I got this for my wife when she updated to an iPhone 16. Her previous clip-on macro lens no longer worked so well with the new phone.The Q&A section seems to indicate that the device is compatible with the iPhone 16. We aren't finding that to be the case.The attachment system seems to be very solidly made with good quality plastic and a nice strong spring, but unfortunately the clamps get in the way of some of the phone's buttons and my wife isn't liking that at all.It's probably better with some other iPhone model. Too bad about this. Just the luck of the draw, I guess.

I purchased this to use with my Apple iPhone 14 Pro. I received the lens kit and it appears to be well made, but the one I received is NOT for the 14 Pro! I was traveling, which is why I purchased it, and wasn't able to return it for a refund or exchange.

I requested this unit hoping for some improvement over my IPhone 13 Pro's macro mode, and on initial impression feel it's been a mixed success. See one attached photo of my cat's nose.Areas that are good:* Fits over the top of my Unicorn Beetle Pro case* It increases the focal length so that I don't have to worry about being so close to the subject* Because the distance from the object is increased, more light can reach the subject* Details seem a bit crisper.Challenges:* The mount ends up on or very close to the power + volume buttons on the Iphone 13 Pro Max. I triggered some buttons when trying to get the device attached a few times.* The IPhone sometimes struggles to auto-focus and lock onto my subject. I have to fiddle with the iPhone zoom a bit to get it to choose the lens I want.* Attaching and detaching the lens can be a hassle. To store it in the case I must detach the lens and move the placement arm all the way to one side (photo) for everything to fit. The extra steps of setting it up every time mean I'm far less likely to use it than the inbuilt macro mode.Overall, it's OK but I'm not likely to use it often because of the friction involved in adjusting it each use. I rarely use my SLR for the same reason. As an improvement, I'd suggest the manufacturer design the case in such a way that you can store everything in its adjusted configuration so that all you need to do is take it out and attach it to your phone.

Great detail and quality at a very good price. I also like the mount. With other lenses (e.g. Sandmarc, Moment) you either need to buy a case to accomodate the lens or use a clip system, that, in my experience, gives a less than optimal mount and inconsistent results.This mount goes on top of your case, and the macro lens sits tightly on top of your phone lens giving it a perfect fit. You can adjust the Apexel lens position sliding it left to right or top to bottom till it’s perfectly aligned with your phone lens.I got this for a friend who has a Samsung but after seeing the results I might get one for myself too.

I get better results with iPhone’s regular macro mode. Not worth it.Their microscope lens works well however.

Was looking for a macro lens that gives ~8-10x magnification and gave this a try.Using a Pixel 7, I found the magnification to be a bit over 2x, which was less than what I needed so had to return.From the quick test I found it to be easy to mount and center. It's pretty forgiving in terms of working distance and the ability to focus. Overall I'd recommend it if your looking for this level of magnification.

I have no complaints about this 10x macro lens. It does a great job with my iPhone 13 Pro, and I’m happy with it. I think the photos speak for themselves. Non-macro photo for scale.

Great for pictures and the person who helped me was amazing when I broke part of the lens!! Rita is great🙏🏽
