Apple's tristar (or whatever they call it now on new models) should reject anything out of spec, I don't think a cable should be ultimately trusted that it will work due to very real world wear scenarios.
Phone home is probably tin foil hat thinking.

Probably, but also be careful which cable you're using! https://shop.hak5.org/products/omg-cable https://shop.hak5.org/products/omg-cable This one is physically exactly the same as an Apple Lighting cable, but contains a WiFi Server and a bunch of other doodads
- happymellon 4y agoWow, that's a really good price for such a neat hack.
