This list can hardly be called anything surprising: Apple likes to add magnets to its equipment - for attaching back covers, connectors, and now also for wireless charging. And this is not counting the magnets that are used inside, ensuring the functioning of the equipment.
Earlier Apple already released warning for iPhone 12 users with pacemakers and defibrillators, recommending that they do not bring their smartphone to the distance less than 15 centimeters from the medical device (and less than 30 centimeters if using a wireless charger). A similar recommendation applies to all gadgets from the list above.
