Are magnets bad for phones?

[alligatortears]

I'm wanting to get a magnetic flip case for my iphone as every other case I've had has given the screen protector bubbles-I've heard th magnets damage the phone or interfere with internet, is it true?

I had a phone (non iphone, Samsung Galaxy Ace) that had a flip case with a magnet. Never had any problems. The magnet probably isn't strong enough to cause any problems.

Q. Are magnets bad for phones?

A. Magnets are really bad for phones.

I went into my local Magnets (for the purpose of the 'joke' I'll assume they still exist) and they didn't have any phones at all.

Thank you :3

don't ever put a magnet near the old tube type TVs..I did that once and the colour went all funny; I had to sort of massage the colour and picture back to normal, by moving the magnet around, and that did actually work.
