good day, I might sound stupid, but how come the stainless steel Milanese loop is magnetic? from my understanding, stainless steel is not magnetic unless you use a grade that has iron in it but those stainless steel can get rust. I would think Apple uses 316 grade stainless as they do with all they're stainless parts, but 316 is not magnetic.
The magnetic content is part of the design, the Milanese Loop even uses a magnet to secure the tail of the band. There are many grades which can be described as “stainless” and the ferritic grades are very definitely magnetic.

The magnets they use attract to their stainless steel. They are more than likely not going to give specifics on which SS they use. We cannot speculate as part of the Terms of Use.
Just as they have figured out how to make the new MacBook Air with Alluminum shavings, I would guess they applied some very interesting technology to the Milanese loop.
