Yes, a database, on your phone, connected to the internet, with applications everyone else has also connected to the internet. You don't have to singularly exploit every individual phone with brand new attacks. You design one attack and use it again and again. Targeted attacks are no longer a "rarity", it's the natural result of having singular software platforms. Iphones are very popular, and very wealthy and powerful people use them, therefore they become a very lucrative target. Snowden was talking about the Pegasus project before we even knew the name of it. The ability to just exploit someones phone via a text message, no user interaction. There are plenty more where that came from, don't worry.
