All fanboys answering here VERY specific to your question and your word of choice “Virus”

they collectivly ignore all security breaches that goes on all the time

last update was yesterday

fixed lots of apps that broke in critical moments and spilled privilidges and access to private stuff and KERNEL amongst other things here’s all about it About the security content of Safari 16.5.1 - Apple Support

And you are ignoring the fact that no anti-virus software that works on an iPhone could have detected any of the types of security issues that the update resolved. iOS apps are sandboxed, meaning they are isolated from other apps and from the system. So, while there exist apps that call themselves "anti-virus" for iPhones, they really aren't. If you read the descriptions on the app store, non of them say they scan for malware.

The best protection against malware on an iPhone is to never jailbreak the phone and to keep up-to-date with security updates.

I'm also not sure why you linked to a Mac security update.
