I have a "Nato Smart Mount" which has a metal disk the attaches to the back of the case or phone and sticks to a strong magnet attached to the mount. My question is will the magnet damage my phone?
Thanks
Phil

It could, if attached directly to the iPhone. It might be better to use a case for the iPhone and attach the magnet to the case instead of directly to the iPhone. A magnet attached this way shouldn't cause any harm to the iPhone.
 
The iPhone isn't magnetic so you have to use a piece of metal. I have never had an issue with cellphones and magnets, and have used magnet mounts for 15 years.
 
Magnets can affect the compass and in some cases the auto-focus rear camera.
