Hi all,
I recently started my IT study and got into a discussion with my teacher about the security of IOS.
He is one of those “apple fanboys” and said it is nearly impossible to RAT an iPhone. I did not agree with this and after a long discussion in class he challenged me to show him otherwise. Does anyone know a good tool to demonstrate that Ios isnt as safe as he claims it is? I have an old Iphone 13 laying around wich I can use as test object.

The closed nature of iOS does provide an extra layer of security. But I don’t know about “almost impossible”, I would only go as far as “more difficult than Android”.
Don’t waste your time with that argument. It’s futile and it’ll be fruitless. People that preach for a brand (be it Apple or any other in any field) are way more close-minded than iOS itself.
Yeah that’s the issue here. The wording of it. If the teacher actually said “nearly impossible” then he’s technically correct because he left it open to interpretation. You can definitely say it’s harder than Android, but the reasoning behind that is then where it gets messy again.
The only reason it’s harder is because iOS is, as you said, very close-minded. Obviously it’s more secure because you can ONLY do what iOS approves. This also has other issues that arise.
What’s more interesting to me is someone working in IT that pushes for Apple products… then again I wonder if the teacher is actually an “Apple fanboy” as the OP says, or if the teacher was simply stating that iOS is more secure, which again it is. Then the OP took that was “Apple fanboy” because something was said that he doesn’t agree with.
