I see. Hence evil maid attack. If someone has temporary physical access they could install malware that captures data when the device is unlocked. Chargers as an attack vector seem more likely, if more mundane.

In the case of malicious chargers I believe Apple already authenticates peripherals to make data capture more difficult. If you’re unauthenticated then you will not be able to do much unless explicitly authorised.
Of course, none of that matters if you can reflash the device or exploit the boot ROM.
