OK, I understand. I never tried to stick my phone to the MV adapter on the optic before I installed my steel plate...but I want to make sure we're on the same page.

The magnet on the MV system is on the optic, not the phone. The phone just has a steel plate.

Are you asking if there's enough steel in the phone to stay on the magnet on the optic? I should've said the before. my bad

Yes I suppose that’s the best way of phrasing it. I know the phone itself isn’t magnetic but a magnetic will stick to it / the phone will stick to a strong enough magnet.

My educated guess would be that if there was enough steel in the phone to stick to the magnet, MV, would state that out right in the instructions and they did not. The only option was to put a metal plate on the back of the phone.

Also, I would not feel comfortable out in the rocks with an iPhone that was not in a case.

The metal plate they send you is so thin you don’t even notice it. Got my fingers on mine right now as I typed this lol
