My IPhone experience is diff from yours & Brad’s.
I have my 2nd one now and have no intention of changing.
I’ve played with the compass that CAME in the phone and so far I’ve had
no problems. I also keep a liquid filled ‘manual’ compass in my back pack.
Sometimes batteries die in the phone (any brand).
I also use 1-3 GPS , map inc in the phone. So I’m not limited to just 1 compass.

I look at the North Star for True North, ha. Aren't we off by 8 degrees from Magnetic North? What year was it when all the tectonic plates of the earth moved and changes our direction a bit? am I saying that right?  Not so much the change due to continental drift over a relatively short period of time, but variations in the earths magnetic field causing the magnetic poles to wander affecting the magnetic declination. We'll all be buggered when the poles flip!

My last iPhone the compass never worked. Works fine on my current phone. I still have a real compass tied to my pack on a paracord line. And another tiny one on my watch band. .
