Recorded AI-assisted source inspection; not independent human approval or hardware testing.

Boot width/length are not mating-tab dimensions or universal Lightning geometry. Appearance/MFi badge/cable writing is not authentication, exact model identification or an inspected physical specimen. No contact count, pitch or assignment inferred from the photograph.

Source inspection is separate from independent technical approval, rights clearance and hardware testing.
