Phishing email

Hello,

I have a question in regards to iPhone cameras being hacked. I got a blackmail email saying that I have been recorded and if I dont pay up they are going to send it out to everyone in my phone, and I know that this a scam (through all the research I’ve done) I just am curious how realistic it could be. I read that Apple is more difficult to hack into and Androids are easier to hack. Any thoughts?
