iPhones are natively secure and are super difficult to get viruses, malware, ransomware, etc. You can't really get any virus protection for iPhones anyway because apps dont have the permission to monitor processes and downloads on the iPhone. I have never seen a virus or anything on a iPhone, the built in security in IOS is just really good and would be so difficult to get any type of virus.
