NEW YORK: Magnets and electronics generally don’t play well together. And that unfriendly relationship may be to blame for some problems users are having with the Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. They might be right. With iPhone 6 Plus, a metallic case or magnetic lens could interfere with optical image stabilization, Apple says in a support guide. “If you have a metallic case or magnetic lens attachment, try taking a picture without it.”
Apple is reportedly telling manufacturers in its “Made for iPhone” licensing program to avoid using magnets and metallic materials, according to 9to5Mac.Apple Pay, the iPhone 6’s mobile wallet feature, which uses near-field communication wireless technology, can also be affected by magnetic and metallic accessories, such as a case.
