magnets can affect optical image stabilization?

[roeiz]

According to Apple magnets can affect things such as optical image stabilization
(such as lens magnets, and perhaps other car holder magnets, etc)

this was a year ago,
but i still can't tell by what's written if it can cause DAMAGE or just temporal interference..
worried about car holder magnets..

Makes sense. Parts of the stabilizer are metal, magnets reacting to the metal pulling it back and forth. I have used my Magnet car mount over a year and my 6 camera worked perfectly until the day I sold it. The magnet being right at the lens seems to be the issue.

Correct, if you have a magnet attached near the top of the phone by the cameras you'll have issues. If you have a car mounted magnet that is in the center of your device.. unless you are taking a picture while driving you shouldn't have any issues or damage. I've had a car mount in my car for 2 phone generations and have had no issues with my 6+ or 6s+ cameras.. well other then my 6+ not focusing but that's part of their recall, not magnet related.
