Connecting to a public network does not, automatically, infect your system.
The major drawback to public networks is that you can't be sure that someone else on the network can 'see' your traffic.
At the end of the day, you are just as vulnerable to most viruses and malware (which usually trick you into installing software e.g. via popups, links, etc.), but this can happen on public or private networks.

There are no known viruses in the wild at all that can affect an iPhone that is not jailbroken.
Just a note, Tim is correct in his post that if you have not jailbroken your iPhone you are not at risk of a true virus.
You could probably just get hacked or IP banned from services or websites. If the IP is poisoned and you connect to it, you can get banned if you have that type of account.
No they could not get hacked and why would their IP address be banned? What do you mean by the IP being poisoned?
Your post is not clear at all and is not factual.
Is possible to get a virus using public wifi with iPhone?
