False, they can breach the sandbox. The sandbox is software and it has exploitable flaws until proven otherwise (which hasn't happened).
Look, like I said in another comment: you'd be fine if you restricted yourself to relative comparisons, but for some reason you have to go too far and make absolute statements of security, statements which can't possibly be true. iOS might be more secure than other OSes, but it's still insecure, and it's dangerous and misleading to say that any users don't need to exercise reasonable caution.
