Email threatening of Trojan virus and Releasing my data to Public for sale

I have received an email saying that, They got access to my email and data of the devices where ever I used that compromised email(claiming to be). The email stated that, they have purchased my data from dark web(My official laptop was hacked a couple of months ago. Not paid to the hackers to get the encrypted data back, instead I did re-load the fresh wimdows on my laptop) and they have access to my email and other data. According to the email, they have installed Trojan virus on my devices via email and it cannot be detected by any anti-virus software as this virus signatures are linked drivers and updates automatically. They also stated that, I have been visiting adult websites and I am fan of adultry,...They are threatening me to pay a ransom of USD 1550.00 within 48 hours of reading that email otherwise, my data will be put for sale, send the clippings to my friends, relatives, colleagues,... and creates a catastrophe. My question is that, is it possible to do this on iPhone 12 (updated to latest version of iOS) i.e. Installing Trojan, accessing the camera and microphone,...?

Thanks.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15
