when I change my Apple ID password, I get messages that says I’m in Cornwall but I’m in Yorkshire

Can Apple get my location wrong, thinking I’m in a different part of the country when I change my Apple ID password?

If this is an e-mail you received, or a popup on the screen,  about the time you were actually logging in, there is probably nothing to worry about. The location in the e-mail is where your ISP reported it. If their servers are in a location distant from you, there will be a large error. Based on other posts I have read, the distant error can be very large.
