Macro mode on phones like the iPhone gives interesting results using the wide-angle camera, and although they get a lot of detail the photos are very "flat". But if you remember to put a small lens in your trouser pocket that you can hold over the main camera, the depth of field is much shallower, and you get more attractive bokeh effects. Lenses from second-hand binoculars held in place with a simple rubber band have given me better results than specific macro lenses held in place with clamps.
