JAKARTA – Motorcycle users usually put their cellphones on the handlebars to view Maps while driving, especially online motorcycle taxis that are common nowadays. But apparently, this is quite dangerous to do other than the phone is easy to fall.
Especially for those who use the iPhone. Because, Apple has just stated that putting the phone on the motorcycle handlebars is quite risky for their iPhone camera features.
According to reports from the page Apple Support, The company claims that prolonged vibration, such as that caused by a motorcycle engine during operation, can actually cause iPhone camera quality to deteriorate over time. Apple reasons, this is because of the technology behind camera stabilization features, such as the gyroscope.
Q about the *physics* of the camera in the iPhone XR: After an hour-long motorcycle ride with the phone on a handlebar mount, I popped the phone off and opened the camera. It wouldn’t focus (image was blurry and jiggled slightly). Front (selfie) camera was fine. 1/2

“However, as is the case with many consumer electronics which include systems such as Optical Image System (OIS), long-term direct exposure to high-amplitude vibrations in a certain frequency range can degrade the performance of these systems and cause image quality degradation for photos and videos. PocketLint, Monday, September 13.
Apple states that high-power or high-volume motorcycle engines produce intense high-amplitude vibrations, which are transmitted through the chassis and handlebars of the motorcycle.
“(We) don’t recommend attaching your iPhone to a motorcycle with a high-power or high-volume engine because the amplitude of the vibrations within a certain frequency range it generates can pose a risk to your phone,” Apple said.
This right is proven when PocketLint Doing a search on Twitter, they were able to find a tweet from 2019 warning about an iPhone permanently losing its autofocus capabilities after being whisked away in a helicopter. Where of course the vibration generated from the helicopter is greater than the motorcycle.
The iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S Plus, and iPhone 7 and later all feature OIS, as does the second-generation iPhone SE. Apple recommends using a vibration dampening mount whenever possible.
