If magnets damage a computer, why aren’t phones damaged by magnetic mounts?

The whole ‘magnets damage a computer’ hasn’t been true for a while, due to changes in technology.
Magnets were mostly a risk to floppy disks/VCR (stored on magnetic reels), CRT displays (used stream of charged particles), and hard disk drives (stored on spinning magnets).
In modern electronics, these have largely been replaced with LCD displays and solid state drives, which aren’t vulnerable to magnets.
Well, not more than any other electric circuit, at least-but you’ll need a magnet with a lot more oomph than you’ll get out of a simple mount magnet before you need to worry about anything.
