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

I was taught they don’t actually damage them but interfere with them if u will. For example, when I was working at a Help Desk & I had some dude call n tell me his computer wouldn’t boot up & it was acting “odd” everytime he tried booting it up. So we dispatched our onsite vendor at the time & this is was over a mountain pass & thru the woods to grandma’s house basically but the travel alone was a nightmare for this. The kid from our vendor gets there & he calls me up & says welp its fixed took all of 5 minutes so I’m heading home. I of course go wtf was going on?! He says dude had his family photos stuck to the side of the stupid thing with magnet photo frames from the weekend camping trip he just got back from. Go friggin fig. He paid for it so whateva. I asked the dude if he had done ANYTHING WHATSOEVER to his computer that Monday morning he told me not a thing but exactly said “naw I haven’t touched it since I got in this morning & it was like this.” Lesson learned for both of us. But it didn’t damage it cuz when all the photos were removed off of the side of his CPU, it booted up just fine. It just caused it according to the dude keep in mind to distort on bootup is all he kept repeating. Said it was really weird looking. Yea I bet. Anyway now I know to ask this when someone remotely mentions to me their computer is strange behaving oddly out of the ordinary never seen this before or it’s really weird looking.
