I would ask Apple directly.
My guess is, and it is only a guess, you would need some kind of attenuated 
cable unless you were connecting to an audio out jack as opposed to an earphone 
jack.
But, I would never try that without asking Apple.

Hello,


As far as I am aware, the cable you refer to is an output connection only.  It 
cannot be used as an input.

Out of interest, what microphone do you use?

Thanks.

Hello list
I use an external stereo mic with my iPhone which prooves that the lightning 
port is also an input port. Now I am curious to know if one would be able to 
use that short connector cable which comes with the iPhone 7 to record from an 
external source. I am very tempted to test this but I am a bit worried that I 
could damage the iPhone. Does any of the experts have an opinion on this 
possibility?
Regards
Fanus
