Anything can theoretically be vulnerable but if you keep up with software updates I wouldn’t worry on an iOS device. If you’re worried, reboot. Most exploits that’ve existed for iOS don’t persist a reboot
An iPhone can definitely be infected with malware if a malicious file is downloaded from the Internet - masked as something else.
That's why opening up email attachments from unknown senders is a no no.
While an iOS device is more protected from malware than a Windows PC, it's definitely not invulnerable.
But the risk for iOS is still low if the websites you're visiting are legit.
One bad habit everyone should avoid is clicking on links in forums (like this one). They could easily be booby trapped.
