Is Sensor-shift optical image stabilisation as sensitive to magnetic interference?

I’m using my iPhone SE with a case employing a circular magnet to attach a Dermoscope (polarised light magnifying device for taking pictures of moles on skin) but it can interfere with OIS as used in more recent phones….

Is it likely to have the same effect on Sensor-shift optical image stabilisation?

iPhone SE, iOS 13

Curious about the affects of MagSafe on Camera. I was recently exposed to an alarming article posted on Apples official website stating that one should avoid using magnetic accessories with their iPhones as it interferes with the camera’s OIS & AF . The article has conveniently skipped mentioning whether one should use MagSafe compatible cases with their iPhones . Since I happened to have splurged a good chunk of cash on 3 MagSafe compatible cases, I can’t help but wonder wether I should continue using magnetic cases ? No one seems to be discussing this anywhere .

Infrared rear camera flashing I’ve realize on pretty much all newer iPhones (and some iPad Pros) that if a non-infrared filtering camera is pointing at the rear camera of an iDevicr, it will pick up light flashes from it. Now I know that infrared light flashes are used for mapping your face with the front camera. and the rear LiDAR sensor is used for depth mapping. But why would it be flashing when in standby (locked)? What need does the device have to map while not in use? thanks

Restore the OIS and AF functions back to normal. Does removing magnetic accessories from iPhone restore the OIS and AF functions back to normal? Or is there permanent damage? I'd like to use magnetic accessories when not engaged in photography, but I also do not wish to do "gradual" or permanent damage to these stabilizing features.
