A comprehensive study is carried out on the impact of strong magnetic fields on the deconfinement phase transition inside massive neutron stars. The matter equation of state and the general relativity solutions, which also fulfill Maxwell's equations, are modified when taking magnetic-field effects into account. We observe that the maximum mass and canonical-mass radius of stars computed using spherically-symmetric TOV equations and axisymmetric solutions obtained through the LORENE library differ significantly for large values of magnetic dipole moment. The discrepancies depend on the stellar mass being studied, as well as the stiffness of the equation of state. This indicates that the matter composition and interactions determine the magnetic field thresholds for the acceptable approximation of isotropic stars and the appropriate application of TOV equations.
