I suppose it may depend on how hard you shake it. But at the same time, there are no moving parts inside that would be damaged by repetitive velocity changes.


I would have to assume since Apple themselves say you can shake it, there's nothing to worry about. Other than accidentally letting go.

Oh alright thank you very much. I doubt I could shake my phone that fast with my hands though, so I think it’s fine thanks for the answer much appreciated!
