Will iphone 12 magnet affect people with heart issues?

Hi guys,

My dad is willing to by the new iphone 12 pro. He has a heart condition. He had a heart valve replacement. I heard that magnets in the new iphone 12 might affect his heart valve.

Can someone clarify this info please?

Thanks

Peacemaker The cardiologist warned me against the iPhone 12 and 13 because there is a strong magnet that affects the programming of the battery of my heart. Is this true and I need clarification from Apple?

IPhone 14 pro and heart pacemaker I have recently had a heart pacemaker implanted. I have an Iphone 12Pro and last year Apple warned that this phone could disrupt the work of the pacemaker if held within 12 inches of the device. This is because of the magnetic fields coming from the phone. My question is: would the Iphone 14 pro be any safer?

Magnet in iPhone 13pro Is there a way to remove the magnet in the iPhone? I currently have the iphone11 pro so this isn’t an issue but I have a magnetic pressure valve in my brain. I have seen evidence that the magnet in the phone directly changes the pressure level in this device which causes grave health concerns. (Specifically for this, the reoccurrence of hydrocephalus) I have been an Apple user my whole life and would love to stay. I recognize that this isn’t an issue for the vast majority and wonder A. If there is a way to remove the magnet( whether by Apple or an outside source) or B is there an option from a manufacturing standpoint to leave this magnet out so people with various health concerns can continue to enjoy the apple products which we all know and love?
