We already know that Israeli cyber company has spyware called pegasus, that can 0-click attacks to ios and Android. It is one time hack, and it is removed on boot. They sell it as service. This is why cyber security centers recommend boot once a day.

They had spyware, anyway. We don’t know that it still works.

As of March 2023, Pegasus operators were able to remotely install the spyware on iOS versions through 16.0.3 using a zero-click exploit.

The current version of iOS is 18.1.0.

We won't know what they have now until it is exposed after usage though.
