Their explanation seems legit but I do wonder how Apple would handle warranty claims to damages done to the camera system from strong vibrations.
Like, does the iPhone internally log strong vibrations sensed through the gyro/accelerometer to invalidate warranty claims?
I'm asking since most phones also have moisture stickers inside to invalidate warranty claims to to water damage.
- nerdwaller 5y agoA friend of mine has had his phone replaced twice due to this before figuring out the cause, however now that there’s a formal publication in it I’d bet that changes.
- alias_neo 5y ago> does the iPhone internally log strong vibrations sensed through the gyro/accelerometer I would lean heavily towards "yes". The why, I guess we'll never know the real answer, but I remember rumours, years ago, of manufacturers denying warranty claims based on "dropped" devices thanks to the gyro data.
- nicce 5y agoThis gets closer to slippery-slope argument, because in that case everything happens on black box software and is easier to manipulate or error prone. Apple can just say that logs say your gyro tells this and this. At which point you can’t trust for the warranty of your phone? Moisture stickers can be validated by third party in theory at least.

- maxerickson 5y agoThere is likely characteristic physical damage from the vibration.
