#2Glad there's still at least one tech company that cares about personal security / opsec.

#3No mention of Pegasus and other software of such sort. Can latest iOS still be infected?
There is no point creating such document if elephant in the room is not addressed.

Why? The obvious conclusion is that Apple is doing everything in its power to make the answer “no.”
You might as well enumerate all the viruses ever made on Windows, point to them, and then ask why Microsoft isn’t proving they’ve shut them all down yet in their documents.

#7262 pages!!! Pretty interesting to see how the different SoCs have evolved security wise over time.

Apple did create a boolean for that. They call it lockdown mode.
> Lockdown Mode is an optional, extreme protection that’s designed for the very few individuals who, because of who they are or what they do, might be personally targeted by some of the most sophisticated digital threats. Most people are never targeted by attacks of this nature. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, your device won’t function like it typically does. To reduce the attack surface that potentially could be exploited by highly targeted mercenary spyware, certain apps, websites, and features are strictly limited for security and some experiences might not be available at all.

Pegasus isn't magic. It exploits security vulnerabilities just like everything else. Mitigating and fixing those vulnerabilities is a major part of this document.
