Apple warned users about the danger of the carriage of the iPhone on motorcycles and other vehicles that create a strong vibration. A description of the new reasons for the breakdown appeared on the company’s support page.
The new document states that the impact on the iPhone of high amplitude vibrations in certain frequency bands can cause damage to the smartphone chamber. The motorcycle engine is driven as an example. In this regard, technical support specialists recommended users not to attach phones to the roll of motorcycle and other vehicles with a powerful engine.
The company explained that to obtain focused images taken on the iPhone chamber, the optical stabilization system (OIS) is used in some phones. “Magnetic sensors measure gravitational and vibrating effects and determine the position of the lens so that you can accurately set the compensatory movement,” the specialists clarified. As a result of strong vibrations, these sensors may be damaged.
also company employees said that mopeds, bicycles and other two-wheeled vehicles create less severe vibrations. “However, to reduce the risk of iPhone damage, it is recommended to use a shock-absorbing mount,” the document says.
As a rule, one of the most expensive components in the smartphone is its display. In the fall of 2020, Apple clarified that the iPhone 12 screen replaces the US official service centers will cost $ 279.
