NOT TRUE! Of course it can be hacked
Yes, you can hack it yourself, and someone who has physical possession of it for an extended period of time while it is unlocked can hack it. But it can’t be hacked under any other circumstances, and certainly not by clicking a link on a website.
The fact that iPhone can’t be hacked drives the FBI, CIA and NSA (and KGB) crazy. They keep trying to get Congress to pass laws that would force Apple (and Google) to make smartphones hackable, but so far that hasn’t happened.
Well, I had an incident at a hotel, I was on an unsecured network and my phone started doing things and I had no control whatsoever.
Your iPhone cannot be hacked.
