Camera damage in handlebar-mounted phones?

I have used a number of iPhones mounted on my ebike handlebars over the past ten years without issue. I use the Peak Design mount (which requires the Peak Design case). Two of my three ebikes have front suspension, so perhaps that helps. My current iPhone is the 16 Pro, and it's been working fine for a year. iPhone models previous to that, some of which I owned for two or three years, also worked without any problems.

Don't know when iPhones started using cameras with OIS (apparently their main vulnerability), and don't know which models have used it thereafter. But based on everything I've seen so far, the ill effects don't start right away, and your 16 Pro could be at risk.

Check with Apple. The stakes are pretty high.

Wahoo in hand, took a very long time to power up, but just starting setup now.

Plan to pair it with SL and old phone and take it for a short test ride. today. Will have new phone in a few days.

Can the SL and Wahoo pair with 2 phones at once?
