It might affect how your camera performs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Some iPhones&#8217; camera systems include optical image stabilization and closed-loop autofocus to capture great photos even under challenging conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But experts have confirmed that exposing an iPhone to high amplitude vibrations can cause damage and lead to poor image quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But if you mount your iPhone on a motorcycle, you deprive the OIS system of a stable surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It causes a discrepancy between the angle of the<a href=\"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/2021-honda-cbr-650-r-specifications-price-and-more\/\"><strong> gyroscope and that of your hand&#8217;s<\/strong> <\/a>natural shaking. The result is blurry photos from unintentional camera movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Optical image stabilization (OIS) provides steady images when you take photos or videos with your iPhone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But if you already have a motorcycle mount for your iPhone, there&#8217;s no need to buy an OIS mount since your current mount likely has OIS built in.1\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">That means you can attach your iPhone to your motorcycle without worrying about shaky images.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Additionally, some iPhone<a href=\"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/maz-hazan-builds-the-sensational-custom-velocette-mac\/\"><strong> models have closed-loop autofocus<\/strong><\/a> (AF).2 Closed-loop AF resists the effects of gravity and vibration to preserve sharp focus in stills, videos, and panoramas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With closed-loop AF, on-board magnetic sensors measure gravity and vibration effects and determine the lens position to set the compensating motion accurately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It seems the team at Apple had no idea about this issue until now. At least, they didn&#8217;t realize how much of an inconvenience it was.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What&#8217;s even more perplexing is that the team at Apple has put <a href=\"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/ktm-1290-adventure-2021-teaser-two\/\"><strong>out a warning saying that using<\/strong> <\/a>your iPhone on your motorcycle can seriously affect road safety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It&#8217;s advised to use smartphone mounts instead of holding your iPhone on the handlebars or dashboard of your bike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">via\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT212803\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Apple<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2021\/09\/10\/iphone-camera-vibration-damage-motorcyles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Macrumors<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/9\/11\/22668294\/motorcycle-vibrations-damage-iphone-camera-apple\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Verge<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55920,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,39],"tags":[23467,23468,66],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55914"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55914"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55921,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55914\/revisions\/55921"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
