I didn't say they had to specifically play by your rules. There is nothing that prevents them from avoiding iPhone mainboard hardware entirely to perform this exact same exploit at-scale.

    Right, but at that point, Mossad might as well put the explosive and the electronics to receive the signal to detonate in a shoe or or a hamburger or something. The only advantage of putting them in an iPhone is people's tendency to not want to be without their iPhone even when sleeping and keeping it very close to the body.
