Magnets do not have any effect on the solid-state materials within the phone; namely silicone. I think you are referring to the older type of data storage that was kept on magnetic media. Remember the floppy disk? It was just easier to read and write on that stuff back then. Hard drives, although shielded, are still susceptible to a strong magnetic field. No magnetic media is on the phone. This phone-mount is the best I've ever had. I even bought one for my friend.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That was a concern of mine, too, but when I bought the product, I found that you either attach the included metal plate to the back of your phone, or you slip the plate inside your case. So the magnet is not in direct contact with your phone. The magnetic field in the mount itself has had no noticeable effect on my phone.
