That would make a lot of sense if we were talking about Android but how many iOS devices are still on iOS 10? Apple's stats show 97% of devices are iOS 11+ ( https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/ ). It seems rather unlikely that someone would invest in finding & weaponizing a zero-day exploit against iOS 10 for less than 3% of users. Possible, sure, but Apple's claims needs evidence here.

Apple figure show that 97% of devices that can be upgraded were upgraded. A lot of people keep using Apple devices that are out of support.
My thought was that they could be to target old versions, even if the site is new, but if the new exploits work on old versions that seems unlikely (though it could be to limit the exposure of the new zero-day - fingerprint an old version, present an old exploit - but if the exploits are new, that seems like a lot of work for next-to-no benefit).
