If you have an iPhone camera as your best option, the only thing that might work is mixing a strobe and ambient light. That might help you fake the look of rear curtain sync which I think is what you want.
Example of rear curtain sync (https://www.slrlounge.com/glossary/rear-curtain-sync-definition/)
The goal is to have the ambient light the subject that will be blurry, the super bright strobe will then freeze the action. This all happens in one frame
Here’s how I’d set it up.
Get a strobe like this one that can be adjusted.

Set that up next to your subject in a very bright room. Kitchen or bathroom would probably be the best. You might need to bring in another bright desk lamp or something. Once the subject is in place and lit, but before you turn the strobe on you’ll have to put the iPhone camera in to manual mode and adjust the shutter speed and ISO until you get the right motion blur effect you want. Once you have that you’ll need to turn your strobe on and play with the speed until you get it where you want it.
I’ve done these kinds of shots before, it’s a lot of trial and error. Even with a professional camera and setup it’s difficult. With an iPhone you’ll be taking a ton of photos hoping one will work out right.
Here's one I did about a month ago https://schaiterer.smugmug.com/Unlisted/SlideShowImages/n-PC9JSn/i-6srBBN3
