Is there a softbox for iPhone

Can you help me finding a lighting softbox that can be connected with iPhone camera?!

What are you trying to shoot? Product photography?

Well…
I’m thinking of people portrait pictures.
I know I can connect a light modifier to a regular camera easily.
But is it possible to have it connected with my iPhone?!

I'm looking to try to help - can you tell me what iPhone you have?

It might be easier to find compatible products if you have a 15 or 16 with USB-C.

Thanks for the support… I really appreciate the effort…
I have both iPhone 14, and 16 pro (is pre-ordered).

Okay so we probably would want something with USB-C then!

Well, that sounds great idea.
But would you suggest a product?! And how possible is it going to be for the iPhone to trigger the softbox?!

I haven't been able to find what I think you're looking for, but I did find this:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/logitech-litra-glow-premium-led-streaming-light-with-truesoft-adjustable-mount-and-desktop-app-control-for-pc-mac-graphite/6493239.p?skuId=6493239&extStoreId=178&utm_source=feed&ref=212&loc=20232398158&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw3vO3BhCqARIsAEWblcAl2L-qSB9twl6KGQOcjqVzRGu6WCl1SajwSa8GcrCxpaPDcJurdJAaAoFJEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

It powers on through USB-C, so you could connect it to your iPhone to give it power. However it would be on all the time, it wouldn't trigger like a normal softbox would which might be hard to have it shining in someone's eyes for a long time.

Really appreciate your support.

The idea is that I’m trying to see if it is possible to setup an in-house studio using my phone as it gives pretty results.

Oh yeah! The iPhone can take some incredible photos for sure!
