Overrated. Concern is always there.

You know it especially when it's the anti Apple crowd more concerned than the actual users.

“WireLurker monitors any iOS device connected via USB with an infected OS X computer and installs downloaded third-party applications or automatically generated malicious applications onto the device, regardless of whether it is jailbroken,”

Completely overrated, yes.

I think we all know how malware works, thanks.

It's not like Palo Alto Networks has a horse in this race…

It's certainly the least vulnerable. Let's talk when there are apps on the Official App Store (non third party) causing mischief globally. Hot air until then, if there was a time to attack, now was not it.

Download apps from the correct channels is the moral of the story. As for the whole Nudegate thing. People are far too reliant on simple passwords.

Bottom line is any system can be compromised given enough time.

Last I saw, niche OS's like iOS are running on a small percentage (11%) of worldwide mobiles. So it will have less malware.
