Neither Apple nor Android devices are safe. Their security theatre is about vendor lock in. That even makes devices inherently unsafe, especially if malware has more access rights than a user.
This time it was iMessage apparently. An exploit was released in 2020, perhaps this is just using this vulnerability. Apple had patched it, but perhaps the users didn't update their phones.
This would happen less if we had better and more open operation systems on phones.
I never cease to be surprised by the low security of protecting phones and smart gadgets, which are positioned by developers as the most reliable product protected from hacking. Apple has long lost its trust. Smartphones with support for Google services are out of the question at all. I think that most of us understand that today we are an ordinary consumable material and are very cheap, as information, as a consumer of advertising. I even installed https://ajax.systems/, I still think that everyone wants to cash in on us.
