Big Twin Vibrations & iPhone
I had forgotten about this being a thing. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102175
Has anyone here actually wrecked their iPhone by having it bar mounted? I just bough a new 15Pro and would prefer not to wreck it. I have the tackform mount and never had a problem with my iPhone 13 Mini. <shrug>

IPhone 14pro now.
I have had my phone mounted on fairing for last 60,000 miles without vibration dampener. Thankfully so far its been good. Never a problem with all the vibrations.
Unfortunately my inner fairing left plastic nut that holds windshield cracked, where the phone mount was.
I just put Rockform handlebar mount with vibration dampener. I can see phone moving when at idle and just a little bit of shake when riding. Just like you it worries me. Hopefully it doesnt damage the phone.

I have NEVER had this issue. I used to have my phone "hard" mounted on the handlebars of a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 and now it's "hard" mounted on the handlebars of my 2016 Road Glide Ultra.
Ciro Charger.
NO ISSUES.
I guess I have just been so very lucky.... LOL

I have not had a problem with my iPhones either on my '04 Softail on a RAM mount nor my RGU with either a RAM mount or the Quad Lock with vibration dampener. Approximately 20,000 miles on both systems. Yet.

Every ride, for the last 2+ years, Ive mounted my iPhone 13 Pro Max to a control mounted, non-vibration dampening TechMount system. Prior to that I mounted my iPhone 8 Plus. Neither have exhibited any degradation in image quality.

I just looked at the tackform website and they have an updated anti-vibration cradle, so I went to Amazon and ordered it. It will fit my current mount, so crisis averted. lol If you have a tackform mount, you know what I mean when I say it's the best MC mount on the market. I've tried the RAM mounts, not a fan at all.
