Don't buy an iPhone charger, make your own!

Seems like the only way to save yourself when you're an Apple iOS fashion victim, is to build your own charger, or any other hardware connectible peripheral for that matter, because you can't trust anything that you haven't made yourself and that plugs into the device, and Apple doesn't do anything about it, and you can't make the device secure yourself because it's not open source and you can't change anything about the software:

The thing that made me ROFL is that Apple can't plug the security hole because the hackers haven't made their modus operandi public yet... so Apple doesn't know its own closed source operating system?

To those that use any device with a non-open-source operating system that is connected to the internet, be it from crapple or microstufft, wake up before it's too late!

That or use a mobile battery pack.  But, yeah, mobile security is still something most people don't think about
