Hello, I just received a text from "UPS" saying I needed to pay my invoice from my apple product I just purchased (I just purchased one so I clicked :(). It brought me to a blank page. I closed my browser and cleared my history and deleted the text. Have I compromised my phone? I do have the newest OS, am I ok??

Yes, you are okay.


That SMS was probably an attempt at "phishing" - that is, to get you to hand over information, e.g. Credit Card number, etc. As long as you have not given any information, there is no reason to worry. As for whether your iPhone has been compromised, you can also rest easy.
