This is one of the interesting parts about owning obscure phones.

I cannot imagine having anything important on an iPhone since there is a huge demand to find a bug in the hardware/OS layer. (And we've seen this live in the wild with multiple 0 click exploits)

Meanwhile obscure phones could only be targeted by Pegasus by:

1. Go to a website and download an app 2. Change your settings to allow this app to install 3. Change another setting to allow this app to install.

I mean... not really elite hackers, I had to do this for my own Android app.
