Please don't. That plug has no adapter, and it would fry your battery (possibly even make it explode).
Phone chargers have adapters in them which do two things. They regulate the voltage, and they add resistance which lowers the current (amperage).
Phone batteries and internal circuitry have precise requirements to function safely and properly. The user manuals might give you the required range, or you can remove the battery and look at it, and it should say somewhere on it.
The charger adapter should also have its specs listed. The specs must match the requirements of the device and battery, or bad things can happen.
Fortunately, things tend to be standardized, so most adapters will fall within the range for most devices. But specialized devices might have unique requirements and it's best to use the adapter they came with. Usually these will have a different type of plug so you can't mess it up, but if you're switching out unofficial chargers with different devices then it's always best to check if they're compatible.
The thing in the picture connects the charger cable directly into the outlet. This could blow up your phone or start an electrical fire. At a minimum it will fry your semiconductors.
It's possible to wire your own adapters, but you need to know the specific requirements and include the correct voltage regulator and resistors.
I don't think anything could happen - there're only two leads coming in and like 200 going out. There's no way enough leads are connected properly to even intentionally improperly apply 220v AC into the phone.
Generally the power and ground leads are just two leads, and the rest are all data transfer leads and stuff like that. You can plug your phone into your computer and do stuff (even though iOS makes that harder than it should be), but the unmitigated 220v AC would blow up your battery at the very least
I genuinely appreciate your concern and explanation. It was 100% a joke, friend. No worries. I understand electricity and electronics enough not to do such a dumb thing 😅
No worries. I'll leave it here for anyone who stumbles on it unsuspectingly
Well, strictly speaking it would solve for good the problem of not having a charging cord for your iPhone.
And no more annoying calls from your boss to worry about, either!
