Can someone remotely monitor an iphone

There has been quite alot of press and not so much detail about those iPhones

taken into secure hands to try and get personal information from. Those nearly

are impossible, too. ~ Unless someone has jailbroken them w/ their security lax.

And a bit of history across exploits where, teams had tried to access secrets from

the iPhone. Ultimately about the only way for success, to this day, was to get an

insider, someone with inside knowledge; and have them try to crack the security.

Someone in the FBI paid a ton of money, to try. Was someone on the inside, who

finally made the iPhone open; and only because that person knew exactly how.

'End-to-end' encryption still is a valid reality with much of what Apple makes.

Remote?! Not if the built-in security hasn't been tampered with.. a fat chance.

Not likely. If someone calls you that you do not know, be

aware that something may or may not occur. As anyone

that calls like that, is an "unknown caller."

But not necessarily a bad one. Be wary of answering; what

could easily be, an unwanted 'hard to be rid of' imposition.

And the iOS iPhone if kept updated, has protection built in.

While this does not exactly answer your question, it's close.
