Hi m-iphone,

I understand that when you place your iPhone on the left side of your MacBook Pro, the display turns off. I'm happy to help with this.

Check out the information in the following article, which should clarify what is happening:

Magnets in devices might cause your Mac notebook computer to sleep - Apple Support

Your MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro might go to sleep unexpectedly if a magnet is placed under your computer or on its palm rest. Here are a few ways this might happen:

Placing an iPhone, iPad, or magnetic device on your computer's palm rest. iPhone speakers and most iPad cases contain magnets.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Cheers!
