"phones get hacked just by viewing a text message.... iphone you're probably screwed the moment it hits your device"

IIRC, there was a ~recent (2023) iOS CVE that matched this description, and it got a TON of attention because it was such an anomaly. I'm not shilling for Apple, but want to understand your comment better.
