I wonder if anyone could help? I have an iPhone 6s Plus operating on iOS 10.
I also have an Apple Watch 42mm first generation.
Could anyone please advise if they are aware of the Apple Watch magnetic charging cable causing damage to the iPhone based on the magnet in the charging cable? It is my understanding that magnets and iPhones do not mix well?!
THank you.
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10
no, magnets is not an issue apart from when being close by will make the iPhone compass stop working very well
nor are X-ray at the airport an issue, you can get iPhone cases and car stands full of magnets without any issues
old screen called crt the prior to lcd monitors and tv's would be affected by magnets
and old hard disk in computers would be affected by very strong electronic magnets and could lose data
but non of those technologies are used in phones or watches
Hi
Apple does not state that the cable should be kept away from your iPhone.
However, note that the Magnetic Charging Cable (along with the watch and bands) should be kept away from payment cards (credit, debit, etc) and key cards.
More information (at the bottom of the page):
thank you for responding. I will take a look at the link.
Thank you Rudegar, you answer is very helpful.
Will Apple Watch magnetic charging cable damage iPhone if they come into contact or are near each other?
