Can an iPhone actually get hacked or is that a myth?

My battery has been draining fast and there was a weird popup in Safari saying my phone was infected. I don't jailbreak and only use App Store apps. How would I even know if someone got in, and what should I check first?

Not a myth, but for a normal person it's rare in the movie sense. What actually happens much more often: someone gets your Apple ID password through a phishing text or email and gets into iCloud, or a dodgy configuration profile gets installed. Look in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management for anything you don't recognise, keep iOS updated, and use a proper passcode. Jailbroken phones are a different story.
