No. The only exception is magnetic media and CRT monitors

I don't understand why it would break the hardware unless you actually dropped a 10 pound magnet on a cell phone laying on the floor, but I have heard that magnets will format a hardrive if you place it next to it. maybe it messed the software some how.
