I have desktop speakers for my Mac, but when I put my iPhone in its cradle on the desk, the speakers buzz. What gives?

Sure, move the speakers off of your desktop. Barring that possibility, it’s always good to get speakers with magnetic shielding (or radio frequency shielding). Why? Well, magnetic shielding will work wonders in limiting the flow of electromagnetic fields between your phone and your speakers, usually by separating them with a barrier made of conductive material. In this instance, though, it’s a little like closing the barn door after the iPhones have run off. The tinkerer in us believes we could jury-rig some sort of home-grown magnetic shielding out of beer cans or something, but that is, as of yet, untried.
