Did a MagSafe Case Kill My iPhone SE 2?

Discussion

A few days ago, I bought a random, no-brand phone case. It had a MagSafe symbol on it, but at the time, I had zero idea what MagSafe was.

A few days later, my 6-year-old iPhone SE 2 completely died and won't power up at all.

Now I realize that cases with the MagSafe symbol have built-in magnets, and the iPhone SE 2 itself doesn't support MagSafe.

Did the magnetic field from the cover slowly kill my lovely iPhone over those 2 to 3 days?
