the only issue I'm seeing with all the brands is that, if you upgrade your phone you have to upgrade the whole system, and its not easy to sell due to its niche. companies should do better with recycling, having an option to return the used equipment in exchange to store credits like Moment has (not that great tho)... and also, have more long term solutions and universal mounts without the need of a proprietary case.
Please don't "M*ment" us. Remember that other company with the unacknowledged PR disaster a few years ago? After which the founding staff disappeared and were quickly replaced by cheery sims? If a lens is not optimized for the iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max, don't keep selling it as if it is. It will backfire on you. I'm speaking specifically of the 6x, as it will NOT work correctly with the 16 Pro/Pro Max 5x lens with horrible ghosting and CA and is less than ideal with vignetting on the 1x. Yes, I bought the Sandmarc 6x hoping to use it on my 16 Pro Max. But wait! There's now quietly emerging a "new" version of the 6x specifically for the 16 Pro Max for pre-order. Hmm, wish I'd known about that earlier. Of course, admitting that your product won't work correctly with their phones ahead of time might cause people not to buy it. If we admit anything, they might even want their money back. See, that wasn't such an ethical dilemma after all...as long as we do it quietly, so nobody notices. That worked great for that other company.
You have a valid concern. Please review the following: 1/ If our lenses are not optimized for the new iPhone models, we will do our best to adjust the glass for the iPhone announced in the respective year. Our lenses are compatible with iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max’s primary (main) camera. 2/ Telephoto 6x Lens: After multiple rounds of testing, the tetra prism nature of the 5x camera does not work well with our Telephoto 58mm & Telephoto 6x as it creates soft & ghosting effects. We suggest using the higher quality 48MP camera to capture 2x, 2.4x, 3x and 4x focal lengths, all producing sharper and better lowlight performance than the 5x camera. We have stated this on our product pages - and strive to be even more transparent to our customers. Thank you for your candid feedback.
