Yes, that was the obvious part.

What I meant was, how did the hacker get the iPhone? Steal it? Grab it when the subject went to the bathroom and left the iPhone on the bar? How did the hacker physically get/access the iPhone?

And if I were a manufacturer, I’d probably put a plug here for a privacy screen protector.

Indeed steal it, grab it and run, wait till someone is drunk , pickpocket etc.
