The only way a virus can really infect an iPhone is with a userland+ vulnerability. These have historically only ever been found by jailbreakers and Apple themselves. They have mostly required a USB connection to a computer, and are typically fixed the next iOS patch after discovery. The only other "virus" a user can get on an iOS device is if the user installs a VPN service which could redirect internet traffic, but there are a wall of warnings that would appear before you could even accept it.

You underestimate electronics users.

I know it happens, I just have no sympathy when it does.
