Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that iPhones have been compromised remotely by commercial spyware such as NSO Group's Pegasus?

Yes. A reference article states that in September 2023 Apple issued an emergency patch after being warned that NSO Group had injected Pegasus spyware remotely and surreptitiously onto iPhones and iPads, directly supporting the claim. Other sources confirm Pegasus is remote, zero-click spyware used against mobile devices, though they do not name iPhones specifically.
