Tiffen has announced its new Smartphone 58mm Filter Mount that attaches filters to an iPhone 14 or 15 using Apple’s MagSafe attachment system.
Smartphones have become indispensable tools for many photographers, often supplementing or even replacing a main camera for certain activities. However, one downside to smartphones as cameras is that attaching accessories like filters is more complicated. As a result, those wanting to use something like a polarizing filter for photography or a neutral density filter for video have needed to use add-on accessories to do so.

Tiffen’s Smartphone Filter Mount doesn’t do away with the need for accessories to attach filters, but it does aim to make the process of using them faster and easier. The Tiffen adapter snaps on and off the back of the camera using MagSafe technology instead of relying on clamps or specialized phone cases like many existing products do.
The Tiffen 58mm Smartphone Mount is compatible with all iPhone 14 and 15 models, including the Pro and Pro Max. It retails for $29.99 or bundled with a 58mm circular polarizer for $39.99. It’s available for order on Tiffen’s website or to pre-order through other retail channels.
