You can get viruses on any phone

Very unlikely.

Lot of people say no but as Zeta said any phone can get a virus or adware etc on it. Always best to have protection put on phone. Malaware Byres is a good one

Yes you can. So you can also get an AV for your phone.

Well, in everyday use, no.
The way iOS is designed makes it hard for apps to do anything outside of the apps sandbox.

Viruses for iOS have happened out before, just do a Google search for 'Xsser mRat' (designed to attack jailbroken devices) and 'YiSpecter' (designed to attack non-jailbroken as well as jailbroken devices).

No… Or at the very least very unlikely.

If someone can figure out a way to do so, yes.
iOS is not 100% immune to viruses and malware. However, since iOS is very closed down, it's very difficult to get one.

Yep you can get virues on any phones.

Yes
