High performance motorbikes and iPhone vibration

Considering the general availability and use of "high performance motorbikes" and accessories (phone stands) enabling consumer to attach phone to motorbikes for example to bike handlebar, this _very late_ warning concerning most modern iPhones is quite weird. I did have my iphone 11 pro attached on my bike and yes, the camera broke down. Now I am trying to find out what to do with the situation, is there a way to fix this or is it generally so that if you happen to have a motorbike you better consider other brands than Apple?

Have you contacted Apple to make arrangements to have the phone evaluated and possibly serviced?

This article basicly states that you should not have apple products with you if you drive (high perf) motorcycle or such.

Actually, the article states you shouldn't attach it to the handlebars. I believe it's perfectly safe to keep it somewhere like a jacket pocket.

No, I did not yet take the phone to service, as (of course) warranty period had already finished. Then in the other hand maybe I had not been careful enough to read all these cautions mentioned in web pages, so I guess the warranty would not have been applied. The service web site evaluation for fixing the phone suggested that cost would be around 500€, so I wanted to find out if there should be any other ways to fix the problem.


To be exact the article states you should not attach it to motorbike in any way (vibration is transmitted through chassis and handlebars), so I was wondering if keeping the phone in my jacket pocket would still be considered as attaching the phone to bike through driver. Then again, having the phone in your pocket is not very practical for navigation purposes. I am also wondering what may be the situation with other "high performance" appliances which may vibrate, like snow scooters, jet skis, sports cars, ATVs, motorboats and so on, should all these be avoided if using Apple products?
