As seen with Pixel, when there is a vulnerability to 4G (e.g., VoLTE), it renders the phone inoperable. Is this the same fate for iPhone?

Hackers don't care about the iphone. It's the icloud account they are after.

I don't believe this is entirely true. One can obtain lots of sensitive info from Webkit exploits and app-specific exploits, without ever touching iCloud. Alexa app is one such example. It can access your camera and mic without you knowing.
