Can my iPhone 16 Pro Max get hacked

Realistically, no. If you don’t jailbreak it, it can’t be ‘hacked’. If you do jailbreak it, you have hacked it.

There are tools that can compromise or ‘hack’ an iphone, but those tools are incredibly expensive and are held almost exclusively by repressive governments and intelligence agencies.

If you are not a political dissident in a repressive country or a terrorist, you are not in danger of being ‘hacked’.
