Is the iPhone 16 Pro Max's USB-C port susceptible to damage from a USB killer?

Question

I’ve been developed how USB killers can destroy some devices. Are the USB-C ports on iPhones 16 Pro Max under such threat?

Answer 1

The iPhone 16 Pro Max failed the USB killer test while the 15 Pro Max passed. This indicates that the USB-C port on the 16 Pro Max is prone to voltage spikes from malicious devices like USB killers. Use caution when connecting peripherals to your smartphone’s port.
