My 13 year old daughter has an epicardial pacemaker (just below her ribs), and we just got an iPad 2 and Smart Cover. I spoke to Apple yesterday about this, and they said they would got back to me. They just did and said:
''"Apple does not publish information regarding the strength of the magnets in the Smart Cover or the iPad. Since there are multiple different PaceMaker designs (all with different specs), this customer should consult with their physician to determine if it is appropriate for them to be using this product."''
Well duh, I already did, and with the manufacturer- they both want to know how strong the magnets are, which is why I contacted Apple in the first place. Disappointing, I was really hoping to use this information to build iPad knockoffs in my garage and make inroads into their 90% market hare or whatever it is.
Anyone done magnet strength measurements in any of the teardowns?
