45,000 miles Strava history for me. Mounted on my stem with a Quad Loc.
I hang a rechargeable battery off my bar, with a cable to keep my iPhone fully charged for 4 hours plus.
Screen on the entire time, which I absolutely love. Allows me to view and send brief texts sometimes.(Home in ten minutes, honey!)
I used both free and pay Strava, preferring the features of the pay version. $60 per year, I think.
In all these years, my phone "malfunctioned" a few times when my sweat or water bottle splashed on the screen.
The only other goof occurs when I manually stop it (long coffee stops and such) and forget to restart it. Works great 99.9% of the time for me.
For my first 5k miles or so, I used a wired Sigma cyclecomputer. Mostly out of years of habit. lol
