High-Quality Lens, Incompatible with iPhone 13 Pro

Despite being a solidly built, high-quality lens, it's incompatible with the iPhone 13 Pro, contrary to the product description. I'd rate it 4 stars, deducting half for false advertising, but unfortunately, that's not an option here. As shown in my pictures, the product is well-made and includes a small lighting module. However, the macro lens performs no better than the iPhone's macro mode (despite my attempts to position the Raynox lens over each of my iPhone's three lenses to achieve the best result, even experimenting with portrait mode). As depicted in photo #2, the result is approximately equivalent, rendering it nonsensical to carry something that makes no difference. Additionally, the wide-angle lens is actually narrower than the iPhone's own wide-angle lens (as shown in photos 3-6). Positioning it over the 1x lens yields a narrower angle than the built-in lens. (I verified this with all three iPhone lenses as well.) While the lens quality is good, it's not exceptional (visible color shift and fuzziness with the Raynox lenses). Therefore, the lens is not compatible with ALL iPhone models. If you own an iPhone 13 Pro/Max, I recommend considering lens systems from Moment, which offer much better lens quality (although they are designed and priced for professional users).
