I have an Iphone 13 pro and had been using the Ram Mounts X grip to mount it to my handlebars. It worked fine. But I recently got the Tackform enduro series mount that is more sturdy.
Not sure when it happened, but my camera on my iphone broke. It started making noises when in video mode, and would record wavy weird footage.
Then it hit me. I have heard lots of folks saying that mounting newer smartphones to motos will mess up the cameras. And I'm certain thats what happened. The high frequency vibration messes up the internal camera mechanical parts. Apple replaced my phone under warranty, but I will not be mounting my phone to my bike again. Very annoying problem, as I now have no navigation.
Just wanted to share before someone else ruins their expensive phone.
