I have now tried it with my iPhone 5 several times. Not once has my iPhone 5 turned on when I plugged in the lightning connector except when the connector is connected to some sort of power. The iPhone 5, like all other iPhones, will turn on when it receives power through the port. Note: if you plug it in right after unplugging the USB from a powered source, you can cause the iPhone to switch on because of the residual charge in the cable that hasn't dissipated yet. However, this should not be a factor after several seconds.
