Looking for anti virus for my wife’s and my I phone.
what do you tech guys recommend? I’m tech stupid.
Free is great but some others are $20 for the first year... for 2-3 phones.
 
Did you label this for Maggies because it's a joke?

Seriously, you don't need antivirus for an iPhone, as iOS is sandboxed and one app can't affect another. Keep your phone up to date, stay off the fourth page of search results porn and other click bait bullshit, and don't worry about your phone getting the china flu.

Oh, and since both of you have it, make sure you're on a family account with the wife so you can remote lock and wipe your phone via "Find My" in the event you lose it.

Older article, but still completely relevant as iOS is functionally the same as it was then. https://www.tomsguide.com/us/iphones-dont-need-antivirus-software,news-23111.html
 
If OP's annoyance and concern is ads and redirects while surfing look into trying Brave as your browser.
 
Best thing for apple products if we were smart:

I recommend not opening stupid email attachments and tell your wife to quit searching porn -- that'll cut out about 99.9999% of viruses.

I work in tech, you don't need one especially for an iPhone unless you are constantly on Russian porn sites or clicking on questionable email links.

Lol.
Yea, we should buy more Chinese shit and let the folks that market it here use a portion of
the proceeds to erode the 2nd.
Checkout Foxconn production facilities, btw that's where apple shit is made.
Hey, sandy vagina girl, where do you think other phones are made?
 
my samsung phone is made in vietnam, i think. or it was when they made this model.
