How to hack someone's iPhone remotely?

I read some article that someone was able to hack another person iPhone remotely miles away from the victim.

This article is likely a farce. Hacking an iPhone remotely (or any device for that matter) is extremely difficult and requires knowledge that is probably above yours.

Honestly, it is easier to physically compromise the phone. AKA: Install key-loggers, getting physical access to the phone, emailing malware.

In all seriousness, it would be easier for you to break into the house, steal the phones, hack in to the phones, and do whatever you want there than it would be to just remotely hack it.
