Right LCD shield screw not magnetic?
On the metal LCD and Digitizer Shield on Apple iPhone 5 and above. Why is the top right screw not magnetic or less magnetic than all other screws.
Is this a good question?

iPhone 5/5C/5S all have the top right screw as non magnetic. It's supposed to be that way, make sure to keep your screws in order and put them back where they're supposed to go. It could cause damage to the board

Hi, Albert Great Question,
The non magnetic screw is right next to the compass, so it needs to be non-magnetic to prevent it from screwing with the magnetic field the compass reads

Not a fact based answer:
My guess is that it is to reduce interference with the ear speaker(Which has a magnet in it).
