Default Wireless lavalier mic for iPhone

Are there any wireless lavalier mics that work with an iPhone or iPad?

Apparently not.

In the interest of public service, I'll answer my own question. Just about any microphone will work, wireless or not. It's a question of getting the proper adapter. If you've got an older iPhone with a mini headphone jack, it's as simple as getting a TRS->TRRS adapter (eg., Rode SC4). If you've got a newer iPhone, then you'll need a mini-headphone->lightning adapter, as well. But, if you've got an iPhone X, I think you're out of luck. There's no jack to plug into.

Yes, there are a zillion lavalier mics for an iPhone. Some are very inexpensive and work very well. My original question related to wireless mics. This is a more difficult issue.

I've used a Sony ECM-957 stereo mic to good effect. Not exactly lavalier, but surprisingly good. I've also used an ECM-T115, which is the tie-pin mic, which works but doesn't sound quite as good.

A YouTube reviewer highly recommended the Sennheiser EW112P, provided you've got the correct interface cable. But, I got put off by the high price. Amazon also lists a KIMAFUN 2.4G wireless mic, but I got put off by the absurdly low price and the fact that one of the reviewers said that it worked "goodly".

Well, I'm going to take the advantage of this thread. I bought the Shure MVL (lavalier mic) and I use it with my Iphone SE. It works very well, but I want to monitor while I'm recording. Does anybody have any idea how can I do this?
As Shure MVL connects in the headphone jack, I can't connect my headphone. I've tried to use an adapter split P2, but it didn't work, because this way Iphone don't recognize Shure MVL mic.

You can use the Shure MV88. There is a latency issue when monitoring, but if you buy the MV88+ video kit there’s a headphone jack on the mic, which should avoid the latency issue.
