Magnetism FAQS:
No, a magnet will not damage your smartphone’s...battery
Smartphones use lithium-ion batteries. According to The Guardian:
Lithium-ion batteries found in most smartphones and electronics have a metal oxide cathode made of a cobalt, nickel, manganese or iron mix, a porous graphite anode that holds lithium ions within it and a lithium salt electrolyte.
Positively charged lithium ions travel through the electrolyte from the anode to the cathode driving electrons through the smartphone as required and back to the anode.
Since the materials for batteries are not magnetic, they are not affected by our magnets in any way.
No, a magnet will not damage your smartphone’s...speaker
While it is true that smartphone speakers use magnets, it is also true that the placement of the magnet on your Rokform case or mount will be located in a different place from your smartphone’s speakers. Your speakers will not be affected by the magnets.
No, a magnet will not damage your smartphone’s...compass or GPS
The electric compass in your phone uses sensors to identify your cardinal direction. These sensors can be affected by very strong magnetic fields (think industrial or laboratory-strength magnets). Our team conducts tons of tests prior to product launch to make sure our cases function properly with the rest of your smartphone, and this includes a compass test. Because of the location of our magnets vs the location of the compass sensors in your phone, we can say confidently that the compass works great with our Rokform cases and mounts.
GPS does not rely on the electric compass built into your phone. Instead, your GPS tool uses receivers and GPS satellites to triangulate your position. These are not affected by magnets next to your phone.
