What is the Gauss of the magnets in the Apple 12 and MagSafe devices?

Does anyone know the gauss level/strength of the magnets? Magnets up to 57 gauss must be kept 5 cm (2") away from an intrathecal pump, which is implanted in the abdomen/lap where a hand held phone rests often. Under 10 gauss won't the effect pump. Any idea at all?

The only information that is publicly available is this -> About the magnets inside iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and MagSafe accessories - Apple Support


But there is no mention of the strength of the magnets specifically.

I would like to know this too as my mum has a Neurostimulator device implanted in her lower back. Will the MagSafe cause a problem turning her device off? If it’s strong enough to mark the casing of the phone itself over time or affect credit/ debit cards if too close how strong is the magnet?

Apple is surely alienating a large group of consumers not just those that have a device it could affect but also those like myself who would be concerned not to cause someone’s device to be affected. Doesn’t seem like good business sense to me.

The other option they could look at surely is a case that cancels out the magnetic effect fully? I’m not an expert by any means just a slightly concerned iPhone user as I may have too look at turning to another make of phone
