Connected iPhone via USB accidentally to an smart TV with an untrustworthy application

I accidentally connected my phone to an Android smart tv via USB with an untrustworthy application. The reason was to show photos. Because i didn’t know that the TV had an untrustworthy app I accepted the Tv as a trustworthy device. On the TV was an application that can read out personal data like banking apps on android phones when installed there.


I could show photos of my iPhones storage, could the app access deeper system functions of my phone like banking apps or my Reminder App, because I allowed the tv as a trustworthy device and connected it via USB?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

No.


Neither the TV nor any app it can access your iPhone's internal systems. You just allowed access to the photos, nothing more.
