Answer 1

Magnets don’t damage computers. They can damage hard drives since hard drives store data magnetically, but the majority of computers use solid state drives which use electricity to store information. Solid state drives can’t be magnetically damaged.

Phones use a variation of solid state so they’re also unaffected.
