You can Google for the myriad of reports on this very topic.
Here's the top result.

Lots of ‘mights’ and ‘ifs’. No concrete evidence. Also they write that it might spread out across lots of manufacturers. And not only that, this is an article from when the iPhone 12 got released, which was the first to include a USB-C to lightning adding to the worry.
Again, you're free to use Google and continue your research yourself. There are lots of them. I took the top result, I didn't vet it because the mountain of evidence is overwhelming.
Cheers.
