iPhone low latency monitor mic input

What are the best ways to hear myself sing in real time using an iPhone 13?

Bluetooth of course is out.

i purchased some Shure SE425s and an aux to lightning dongle thinking that would work. Without an exhaustive search it seems GarageBand for iOS is the only way to monitor in real time. Yet, there’s still an annoying latency.

i saw a while back some $50-200 mics that plug into the lightning port. Additionally, some of those had an aux port on the mic itself.

Thank you for your help

DJI Mic Mini on "older" iPhones (13/14/14 Pro) I have recently bought a brand new DJI Mic Mini, which I predominantly use with my mirrorless camera, but I would also like to use it with my iPhone sometimes. Problem is that my phone (iPhone 13 Pro) is still using obsolete Lightning port, also the genuine DJI Lightning adapter doesn't come in the box, and in my country is either very hard to find one or is being sold separately for much higher price than the official one, which wouldn't suit my needs because I would use phone for a very specific shoots. Is there any way to use DJI Mic Mini with older iPhones other than the awful Bluetooth connectivity? Tried to connect the receiver on my phone via basic Type-C to Lightning adapter (supports both power and data) and the mic doesn't connect at all. Are there other 3rd party adapters/cables that can work with the mic itself?

Use Live Listen with an external microphone: ISSUES I've tried three different external lav mics with my iPhone 12 Pro Max paired with Airpods Pro, and each time my phone displays a message stating to use a compatible audio device. With two of my mics I tried the genuine Apple headphone jack adaptor, and the third was an actual lighting wired mic. Apple officially claims that "To use Live Listen with an external wired microphone, connect the microphone to the Lightning port or headphone jack on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch." Has anybody had any successes with using an external mic? Tips and tricks? Thanks!
