Sorry, just have to jump in here as there's too much ill-informed nonsense being bandied about. First off, Apple don't make 'fragile' phones, any more than any other manufacturer and also this vibration problem can affect ANY mobile phone with image stabilisation in the camera - i.e. almost all phones in the last few years. Earlier phones that did not have this (e.g. iPhones up to and including the 6) are not susceptible to this problem. I repeat it is NOTHING to do with it being an Apple or any other make of phone. However Apple seem to be the only manufacture to have made a point of warning people of this potential problem. So don't knock the only apparently honest manufacturer.
Even later phones MAY not suffer any problem as it largely depends on the actual vibration frequency to which the phone is subject and there will in any case be some variation in individual phone's resistance to any actual damage.
So, to recap, it is NOT just Apple's phones and not all potentially susceptible phones will suffer any failure of its camera system. Not to mention that if you don't care about the camera then it's all academic anyway.
