Will using a wallet case with a magnetic clasp damage the camera on my iPhone 11 Pro Max?

I bought a wallet case for my iPhone 11 Pro max that uses a magnet all along the edge to close it. When I took a picture I got a warning message about having a magnet case. My question is , will a magnetic clasp on a wallet interfere with my camera.

cases with raised edges around camera I just purchased the iPhone 14 Pro Max. I am looking to purchase a case the offers a raised edge around the camera. The only case on Apple's website that highlights a raised area around the camera is the OtterBox Lumen Series Case with MagSafe for iPhone 14 Pro Max - Black. Does anyone know if any Apple cases offer the same raised edge around the camera. Thank you

Camera and case magnet warning I'm getting warnings on my new iPhone SE 2020 that my magnetic case is interfering with my camera on my iPhone. I've only had the phone 1 week and the warning has only just come up now. Has this ruined my camera's OIS and how do I tell? Nowhere did it tell me when I got the phone not to use a case like this (it's a Ted baker one so not a cheap and nasty one!), i'd never even heard of it before. I'm quite upset to think my phone is already ruined as I like to look after them! What can I do?

MagSafe Case Hello! I’m thinking about buying a MagSafe case for my phone, but I was wondering if the magnet also works for regular phone cases such as the leather wallet ones? Best regards

If the iPhone 11's software gave you a warning, I would advise returning that case and purchasing one with perhaps a normal clasp instead of a magnetic one.
