Magnets. How do they work?

If you are asking how magnetism works, no one *really* knows. There are some theories which are well-supported by evidence, but they don't fully explain the phenomena. It's in the same category as gravity in that sense. The answer from April 2017 by Michael is entirely wrong; no scientist anywhere thinks that magnets themselves work based on anything to do with the north and south poles, as magnets work in the vacuum of space, far from those poles. I suppose there *could* be a connection with the N&S poles in terms of what causes certain materials on Earth to BE magnetic, but they operate independently of the N&S poles, regardless of their magnetic property's origin.

does the strong magnetic field generated by the magnet interfere with the iphone internal compass? can the steelie permanently damage the iphone?

They claim it will not damage the iPhone, I haven't used it long term though. As far as the compass, my compass never worked inside the vehicle BEFORE I bought the Steelie. Sometimes my iPhone 7 compass would be a full 45° to 90° off inside the truck.

Cant't find crucial info - what are the measurements of the disc that attaches to your phone? Diameter and thickness would really be helpful

Diameter 3/4" and thickness 1/8", very nice product. Frequently bought together and well works with 🌈🌈 Guanda Bluetooth FM Transmitter for Car Bluetooth Adapter High-end Car Music Player 🌈🌈

Has anyone used this on a motorcycle, cell phone mounts I have seen on motorcycles are big and not very attractive

I have not used it on a motorcycle but I have put it on the side of my car while loading my bike on the roof rack & kinda forgot it. when I got home my phone was right where I left it on the outside of my car (despite freeway speeds of up to 80mph for just more than an hour). I'm pretty happy with this. (I have the iphone5)

no es lo que pensaba, el problema es que su centro de gravedad está muy abajo, lo que ocasiona que con el movimiento del auto tengas que reposicionar el teléfono constantemente. El verdadero problema está con el diseño de esfera de la base, el problema no se corregirá hasta cambiar el diseño. Buenos materiales y mejor calidad que la versión anterior, espero que dure más.
