I would check with your neurologist or neurosurgeon. My son has a strata nsc and his doctor advised against an iPhone 12 as you tend to hold it very close to your head, but only your doctor can say what’s advisable for you.

According to this https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/cerebral-spinal-fluid-csf-shunt-systems/magnetic-field-interference-programmable-csf-shunts you should be fine:

The FDA believes all marketed CSF shunt systems are safe and effective when used as intended.
The FDA does not currently advise patients with magnetic externally programmable CSF shunt valves to avoid using specific electronic devices.
