How does magnetic sensor work on iPhone XS?
Magnetic sensors determine the lens position so that the compensating motion can be set accurately. Optical image stabilization is available on iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6 Plus, and iPhone 6s Plus. Closed-loop AF is available on iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR.
Why are magnets not used in iPhone cases?
These magnets and plates can latch folio covers, join separable cases, or attach to rigid mounts—for example, car mounts. Apple recommends that third-party manufacturers avoid using magnets and metal components in cases and other accessories. For best camera performance, avoid accessories that use magnets or magnetic metal.
Can a MagSafe charger be used with an iPhone 8?
The MagSafe Charger maintains compatibility with Qi charging, so it can be used to wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or later, as well as AirPods models with a wireless charging case, as you would with any Qi-certified charger. The magnetic alignment experience only applies to iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models.
Are there any magnets for the iPhone camera?
The camera will continue to take photos with other means of stabilization but without the benefit of OIS and closed-loop AF. Third-party manufacturers make some accessories with strong magnets or magnetizable metal plates that are near the iPhone rear camera (or cameras).

How does closed loop AF work on iPhone XS?
Closed-loop AF is available on iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. Lens-position sensors respond to magnetic fields. If you place a magnet near these sensors, the magnetic field will interfere with or temporarily disable the sensors. This can degrade the sensors’ accuracy and limit the range of movement available to the lenses.
