Nope, it's correct.
You were wrong because you know absolutely nothing about Apple products.

Zero-click zero-days abound on iOS, particularly in messages, Jolly Roger.

The fact you are super confident in being wrong is no longer shocking.
Neither is the fact you never read the news about Apple products, JR.

Apple isn't ever going to advertise their astoundingly high number of
zero-click exploits, Jolly Roger. It's not gonna be in Apple ads.

Since you're an Apple religious nutcase, you don't know anything about
Apple other than what Apple marketing feeds you in glossy advertisements.

But your claim there are no zero-interaction Apple exploits is absurd.
In fact, iOS has ten times the number of exploits than Android has.

And plenty of those are zero-click exploits, Jolly Roger.
For example:

<https://www.darkreading.com/ics-ot-security/patch-now-apple-zero-day-exploits-bypass-kernel-security>

Note that the two things Apple sucks at coding are Webkit and their Kernel
(where Android has NEVER had a Pegasus kernel exploit, only Apple has).

In summary, the fact you are ignorant of the fact zero-click exploits
abound on Apple products (some of which an install malware) Jolly Roger,
doesn't mean it's wrong just because you don't like that fact about Apple.

It just means you hate the truth about Apple products, Jolly Roger.
That truth is NEVER going to be told to you by Apple.
