Will Magnets Mess with my Phone, Credit Cards, or Pacemaker?Updated 23 days ago

No worries there on your phone - these are static magnets, similar to what’s already in your phone case or headphones. Phones these days are full of magnets, and feature solid-state memory and screens that aren't affected by magnets. Credit card chips are not affected by them either.

However, if you do have a medical condition (like one that requires a pacemaker or hearing aid affected by magnets), please follow your doctor's advice.
