Do you mean how do criminals get remote access? If you're asking specifically about iPhones, it's very, very difficult and it costs about a half a million dollars. Are you a journalist, politician, activist or spy who has data that would be worth that kind of money to try to get?

Of course, if you jailbreak your phone, you remove the protections Apple puts in place and things might be different. If you install software from any place other than the App Store, that could also make you vulnerable.

What's a lot easier (though not easy) is for someone to gain access to your Apple Account.

If you think your Apple Account has been compromised - Apple Support

Why are you asking? Is there something that you're seeing that's worrying you? If so, tell us what you're seeing and perhaps we can help you figure out the real cause.

You may also want to read this guide from Apple:

Personal Safety User Guide - Apple Support

The short answer is, they don't.

Getting Remote Access:

By permitting this. Note this Microsoft takes full control of your computer, moving items around, whereas Apple Support moves your cursor around, letting YOU select it.
