I love how everything has to be "blandified" to make it sound less significant than it is when it comes to diagnosing and characterizing a problem by Apple. And I don't exempt other companies from this dumbing down or "unhysterifying" language as well. "Exposing your iPhone to high amplitude vibrations within certain frequency ranges, specifically those generated by high-power motorcycle engines, can degrade the performance of the camera system." No, it doesn't kill your camera, it just "degrades" it to the point of unusability. Your battery didn't explode, it just experienced a "thermal event"! Your screen isn't cracked, it just has "user-induced fragmentation anomalies"!

"Status page" corporate language. Contrast that with all the intensifiers used when describing the circumstances. It's not vibrations from motorcycle engines causing it, it's "high amplitude" vibrations from "high power" engines. All completely non qualified as well. What's high power? As high as you can imagine for marketing purposes, but as low as Apple wants it to be for warranty claims.

I honestly enjoy these. My rocket didn't explode, it "spontaneously disassembled" mid flight. That deployment that pushed me beyond my physical and emotional limits, of which I may never recover, was "challenging". That absolute cluster fuck of a rollout "presented opportunities to improve our organization".

It degrades it. It's just the fact that continued degradation will result in a non-functioning device eventually =)
