iPhone 14 Pro/14 Pro Max Camera Lens Protector (90988) Review
Protecting your iPhone’s camera lenses is crucial, especially with the premium optics on the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. This review delves into the iPhone 14 Pro/14 Pro Max Camera Lens Protector (Model 90988), a two-pack of tempered glass protectors promising easy installation, bubble-free application, and no impact on image quality. After weeks of rigorous testing, here’s my honest assessment.
The manufacturer boasts several key features, including 9H tempered glass for superior scratch resistance, a clear design to avoid impacting image quality, and compatibility specifically with the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. The packaging is minimal but functional, including the necessary cleaning wipes for installation. The claim of easy, bubble-free installation is a significant selling point, and I’ll discuss how well it performs in the next section.

The installation process was surprisingly straightforward. Following the included instructions, I managed to apply both protectors without any bubbles. The adhesive is strong enough to stay put, but not so strong that it’s difficult to reposition during installation. Over the past few weeks, the protectors have held up well to daily use, resisting scratches and minor impacts. I purposely put it to the test, dropping my phone on various surfaces. No damage occurred to the lens itself.
The most important aspect – image quality – remained largely unaffected. Night shots, a primary concern for many users worried about lens protectors, appeared just as clear and detailed as before installation. I compared photos taken with and without the protector using similar lighting conditions and couldn’t notice a difference in sharpness or clarity.
However, there was a minor reduction in light transmission, barely noticeable in normal daylight conditions. I observed a slight decrease in light intake when taking pictures in low-light, resulting in slightly darker images, but this was minimal. This is a common trade-off with lens protectors and overall did not significantly impact the picture quality.
Pros:
- Easy and bubble-free installation
- Excellent scratch resistance
- Minimal impact on image quality, even in night shots
- Affordable price for a two-pack
Cons:
- Slight reduction in light transmission, mostly noticeable in low-light conditions
- May not be compatible with all cases; check compatibility before buying
Overall, the iPhone 14 Pro/14 Pro Max Camera Lens Protector (Model 90988) delivers on its promises. The easy installation, robust protection, and negligible impact on image quality make it a worthwhile investment. While the minor reduction in light transmission is a small drawback, it’s a minor trade-off for the peace of mind knowing your expensive camera lenses are protected. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable way to safeguard their iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max camera lenses.
