When people say Apple products are secure, we’re not saying they’ll stand up to the world’s top hackers, we’re saying when we visit grandpa we won’t find that he’s installed a toolbar in his browser that’s vacuuming up his bank password every time he types it. I know that if one of my relatives installs a sketchy app suggested by a popup, it can’t sit in the background and snoop on them without even being opened. There’s no Cha$e app in the app store pretending to be the official Chase banking app.
For sure it’s still possible to “hack” someone who is using Apple products (using social engineering for instance) but entire classes of mischief are off the table because of how Apple locks things down.
