Yup. A safety mechanism that has to be low tech. And user training to avoid magnets is safer than a more complicated interface.
The reason this is news is that not all cellphones are magnets, nor is there any obvious indication which are magnets.
- rmu09 6y agoIME all recent cell phones contain fairly strong magnets in their speakers. They tend to clog up with iron filings/dust in my workshop.
