This crazy experiment was also carried upon a brand new MacBook Pro, a Lenovo PC and a Google Pixel which didn't survived the attack and got fried within seconds! The iPad Pro, iPhone7 Plus and some headphones survived the attack while the Samsung Note7 and the iPhone7 got their charging port fried during the experiment.
The creator of the USB Killer drive, a Russian who goes by the name "Dark_Purple" also used the killer drive to fry his car dashboard unit. He said that top car manufactures have purchased his product to test the susceptibility of USB ports.
