Generally, if you keep your phone in your pocket, it shouldn't be an issue. Given the MagSafe accessories, it's likely the same guidance will hold true for future iPhones.

I’m afraid … indeed to keep the phone in the pocket … ok but to use … keeping the 15 cm distance remain the problem … I was hoping there could be a solution for the Magsafe use
