What's the deal with iPhone wallet cases and magnets?

I'm thinking of buying a wallet style case for an iPhone SE 2022 - this one - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Snakehive-iPhone-SE-2022-2020-Navy/dp/B087D4QVT3/

But I keep reading about how a magnet might ruin the camera stabilisation thingy (see https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208747) - is this a real concern? Can you get cases without a magnetic doohickey?

    I've been using a Mujjo case & wallet with my 14 Pro for most of the last year and it's excellent. 

    I honestly don't know about the camera thing but I've never noticed issues.

    The magnet screws around with the gyro which is tied into everything from image stabilisation to the compass function, the stronger the magnetic the more it will effect the gyro.

    How does that work with magnetic wireless chargers?
    I'll get a round to buying a 'real' guitar one day.

    It doesn't it will mess about with the gyro while it's on a wireless charger.  Which isn't an issue as how often are you or anybody else going to take pictures or use the compass function while your phone is on a wireless charger?

    I play with gyros quite a lot, I put them in all the RCs that I've built and the ones that I'm currently building - plus the drones the girlfriend uses all have them, it's makes cornering and drifting so much easier, especially at high speed.  What I sometimes do when racing mates, so not at official RC race meets, is to slip a neodymium magnet either into the front left or right side of the RC car - as far away from the center line as possible, to throw off the gyro so that it pulls the steering towards the magnet.
