How to Put Music on a CD from iPhone/iPad/iPod

I have an iPhone 12 with some of my favorite songs on it. So is it possible to burn these songs to a CD from my iPhone 12 in iOS 14? I know how to burn with iTunes but the problem is I can’t sync songs back to iTunes from my device.

Although iTunes allows users to create personal CDs or DVDs, it only represents that you can put music on a CD from your computer. What if you have some favorite songs on your iPhone or iPad and want to burn them to an audio CD? iTunes doesn’t develop such a feature to sync iPhone music from iPhone to CD, though, it doesn’t mean that there is no available way for iOS users to burn CD from an iPhone, iPad or iPod.
