Only after they paid an Israeli security company for a 0-day vulnerability, which allegedly cost north of $1m.

Interested to know how that amount compares to other OSes, I really don't know what the going rate is on Windows/Linux.

And this was a vulnerability that concerned an iPhone 5c, which did not have a secure enclave. The iPhone 5s was the first model with Touch ID and an secure enclave.
