When the camera performance is exceptional out of the box, there’s not a huge incentive for me to invest in any of the best iPhone lenses out there. Perhaps it’s due to past experiences that make me reluctant to use them more, but I’ve had a change of heart after testing out one for the past month.
The Shiftcam 240mm Super Zoom Tele lens not only adds more optical zoom to the iPhone’s main camera, but it also does the same with its telephoto camera. I’ve paired it with my iPhone 16 Pro Max using Shiftcam’s specialty case to easily fasten the lens to either camera — and the results I’ve been able to capture are surprising.
