iPhone doesn’t vibrate? Your case might be the culprit

Did your iPhone stop vibrating for incoming calls? It can happen: magnets placed inside some wallet- or flip-style cases (used for closures or card holders) have been reported to interfere with the phone’s vibration on calls.

Why this happens

Magnets embedded in cases can affect the phone’s internal components or the way the case sits against the device, sometimes preventing vibration from being felt or interrupting sensors.

Troubleshooting steps

• Remove the case and test receiving a call.
• Check Settings > Sounds & Haptics and ensure vibration is enabled.
• Restart the iPhone and update iOS.
• Try a different (non-magnetic) case or reposition cards/magnets.
• Contact the case maker if the issue persists.
