Comment on Anon hates Apple
MightyCuriosity@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
Real story: A friend of mine used his iPhone on his motorcycle and it messed up the OIS. He went to Apple, said they wouldn’t fix it. He went to a third party and they told him they basically have to beg Apple to fix it and get parts so he’d have to leave his phone for a week to MAYBE get it fixed by the grace of the big fruit. He bought a new iPhone. I still don’t understand why.

Get your friend a dampener for their bike. Check out QuadLockCase.com for one example.

The link doesn’t work but he did have a special “isolation mount” but alas. And they specifically write they’re not responsible for damages.

Yeah, there’s no guarantee that’ll save it, but the QuadLock one has lots of videos of tests that seem convincing.
That said, optical image stabilization requires tiny, fairly-fragile parts to float the lenses. It’s kind of a miracle they survive even normal phone abuses, let alone high-frequency, shake-things-to-pieces vibrations.

Oh is this why my camera got fucked up after a long motorcycle trip?
