iPhone 7 has magnetic area next to flashlight

I put my phone down on a table before where I had some nails on and has stuck to my phone.

Does anyone with an iPhone 7 and if so can they see if their phone has a magnet next to the flashlight on the back of the device?


All Apple cameras that have motors in them are magnetic.

The permanent magnets are how battery power runs the image stabilization and focus mechanisms. Look for OIS and AF in the documentation to learn more.
