Is it possible for an iPhone to get Malware or a Virus in Safari? Or for example TweetBot’s “Safari” equivalent (when opening links)?

And I’m not talking about filling out your information (like a fake Google login) and getting hacked...but is it even possible to get a Virus or Malware on the iPhone itself by visiting a “bad” site that a PC or some other type of device would normally get infected visiting?

I’ve always heard “iPhones can’t get infected” but I just thought I’d ask. Thanks!
 
Nothing known at the moment (at least as far as I know).
