I use this one. I'm unsure if this will work with iPhone 14, but I think it does!

Oh sweet that could come in handy! Great for taking pics at night. Does it wash out the colour too much?

My personal experience with the Apexel on the Iphone 12 is abit dismal due to when I try to use 2.5x, I have to constantly adjust or it will lose focus and it may be due to my phone cover. I can get it work 70% of the time. 

 

I'll test it out without a phone cover, but that would be very inconvenient if I need to take off my cover to use it. The pictures/videos do come out well.
