(The elcomsoft article is down for me, so I don't know the details but) I think it's to do with DFU ("Definitely Fucked-up") mode in iPhones that lets you install a new OS version when the main iOS won't boot-up successfully.

it's probably not talking about DFU mode >To improve security, for a locked iOS device to communicate with USB accessories you must connect an accessory via lightning connector to the device while unlocked – or enter your device passcode while connected – at least once a week "accessories" makes me think it's a "regular" connection, not the recovery one.

  Do you know if Lightning headphones count? Aside from charging, it's the only thing I plug into my Lightning port.

    Nope. What changes is that any device for which you've previously been prompted to "Trust this device?" saying yes will no longer make the iPhone trust that computer forever, only seven days. Unless you unlock the iPhone again.

    If you're actively using your device, this wouldn't apply anyway. You unlock your device far more often than once a week.
