Apple sell third-party handlebar mounts, I doubt being seen as encouraging attaching their phones to handlebars is a problem for them!
And if it were, they would have just made a different ad. There was nothing about the one they made which would not have worked just as well with a bicycle.
Correlation is not causation and all that.
Well, Iâve bought the new iPhone 13 Pro Max, so weâll have to see if my existing vibraiton-damped Quad Lock does the job 
Itâs fine. Just get apply care. My old iPhone has been in for repair no questions asked. It was definitely mounting it on my bike that damaged it.
Yeh they replaced mine using the 1 year warranty.
That said, I wouldnât be too comfortable banking on that. Especially now theyâve announced that this issue can occur. But if you got Apple Care +, even if itâs identified that itâs down to your fault, you would just need to pay the excess (~ÂŁ100) rather than for a replacement unit (which is just over half the price of a brand new one).
Luckily for me, my iPhone is provided by my company and theyâd pay for it if Apple charged.
Flagship phones have OIS (optical image stabiliser), so yes there initially lots of problems. Quad Lock solved the issue with their vibration dampener. I have an S20 Ultra and my camera got f*cked, replaced under warranty. Then I installed the vibration dampener and no problems!
