iPhone 14 Pro Max Lens protectors?

Had them, impacted photos. Took them of and never should have used them
Have you dropped your phone a lot with no case? I'm super clumsy, so I'm paranoid to not use a case and screen cover! I'm planning on getting a 14 Pro Max in purple so I really don't want to cover it, but afraid my clumsy butt will destroy it in a mont.
I’ve heard that it actually effects the photos so that’s an instant pass. Plus I’ve also heard from people in the very rare case a lens does get a scratch, the camera was effected which is very impressive.
I agree with you, the further this thing bumps out the more I feel the need to protect it, and I’m (attempting to) go caseless this year, so I’m just going go have to trust Apple’s excellent materials and use it as intended.

Anything you put over your phone”s lenses will degrade their performance.
I got the 3 rings on mine, probably affects pictures, but not enough for me to notice. Makes the cameras look bigger and fancier imo. Probably not needed but i have cracked one of them before so you never know
Since my DSLR cameras, I never put filter/lens protector on my lens because it affects the picture.
They caused weird issues with night mode photos and focusing on my 13 Pro.. Tried various brands from Spigen Optiks to generic ones from Amazon.
They will Cause horrible reflections at night, especially where a bright light source is in the frame. Say NO to anything covering your lens
I’ve dropped it plenty of times - sometimes on rough pavement. Never an issue. And most people would say my phones are basically like new, especially the screens. I always sell mine for top dollar and people comment on how good they look. If I put kinks and chips in the phone or scratched the screen, I’d throw a case on fast (and a screen protecto), but I just don’t need it.
Get a case which protects them well if that's a concern. If you're going to put some kind of product like this in front of them, expect it to degrade the resulting images. I doubt anyone is making a very high quality to solve what is, in many regards, a solution in search of a problem.
I saw a unique case on amazon, i typed in iPhone 14 pro max 14 case, it has a sliding cover that closes all the way over the camera when you aren't using it. Pretty need but still a cheap/plain black amazon case is why i didnt get it.
Spigen actually has one as well:

Well, good thing you don't work at a government facility or private company that doesn't allow cameras of any kind into the building.
Yeah, much like alot of things that happen within the government these days. I have used cases like these in the past and they let me right through.
That is absurd. But good for you for sliding on through with your little door over your lens. I am glad it worked for you.
I don't think so.
I've had my iPhone X for nearly 5 years now. I can't see a scratch on my lenses. I am sure the protection is much better these days.
