Are magnetic cases bad for the ipad mini?

If you are referring to cases that use magnets to hold the case closed and then trigger the iPad to turn on when you open the case then my answer would be no. I don't know of magnets being used around iPads for any other purpose.

no even if ios devices had storage based on megnatic like computer harddisks which they don't

then pasive magnets are not strong enough to alter magnetic data

Apple sells their very own Smart Cover and Smart Case. The first Smart Cover was the first cover make use of the magnets in the iPad to lock and unlock the device. I seriously doubt that Apple would have created a device to use the feature, if the magnets were harmful to the device.

I have been using a cover with magnets for over 15 months with my iPad3, and it has had no ill effects on the iPad at all.

Yes, it's a plot twist to keep you upgrading.

"Plot twists" are something you find in novels and movies. Misuse of the idiom aside, the answer is still "No, they are not harmful."

IT was a joke, but yes it is bad for them they lea magnetic strips that disappear. It happened to my iPad Air 2, and apple replaced it because I was in warranty, but if I wasn't in warranty I would of just had to deal with it. So speak what you know. They are bad for your screen, and yes they do damage and a plot twist can be used when there's a turn in circumstances and yes if Apple sells magnetic screens knowing magnets aren't good for your screen then yes it's s ploy for them to get u to upgrade. Answer his question don't reply to me. Thank you

No, they are not bad for your screen. Your iPad Air 2 had a defective screen which was replaced under warranty. The magnet in the case had nothing to do with it. Please stop spreading misleading information.

You can't have a plot twist without a plot.
