Anyone ruining iPhones?
In the last year I have had to get 2 new iPhone 6s. They were having issues with the batteries. I broke down and got a new 7. 2 weeks later this one is acting up. I wonder if it's getting "cooked" in that little charging slot. I have it plugged in the whole time I ride to listen to music. Anyone else having any issues? Riding is the only thing I can think I do different than the average person

Not sure how it fits in that slot?
My phone sits in a Ram X mount on the handle bars. A power cord connects to the power port on the lower right of the fairing. I blue tooth my music to the Boom. Works great.
You could also place it in the tour pack, keep it plugged into the power port and still Bluetooth your music.

I've been using my iPhone 6 in the fairing pocket for over 2 years and nearly 28000 miles now. It's been in there in temperatures from the upper 20s to 100+. No issues whatsoever.

My experience with iPhones, (which I love): They shut off when they get really hot from temps & sun. It's a built in feature. Mine shut off sitting in a plastic tank map bag on hot days. On the other side, when snowmobiling, the screen starts to get red bands and pixelate in the cold. I keep mine in my pocket all the time now and it works fine. Bluetooth your phone to the bike.
