Derek Muller from Veritasium collaborated with Marques Brownlee on a wild experiment. They wanted to try draining money from a fully locked iPhone with nothing but a tap and some flashy, yet relatively clever, equipment. Marques plugged his phone into a little reader that was connected to a laptop. The screen stayed dark and locked the entire time, showing no signs of life. Then, a few seconds later, the first charge arrived for $5. They kept going, increasing the amount until they had siphoned off a total of $10,000.
