After logging on into my appleid.
it stated I was using my phone near London when in fact I was in Birmingham!!!
although it was me trying to log in to my account, I was over 100 miles away from where it stated I was trying to sign in from.
iPhone X, iOS 14
No, your phone is not hacked. According to Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support:
"What if I don’t recognize the location shown in my sign in notification?
When you sign in on a new device, you’ll get a notification on your other trusted devices that includes a map showing the approximate location of the new device. This is an approximate location based on the IP address the device is currently using, rather than the exact location of the device. The location shown might reflect the network you're connected to, and not your physical location.
If you know you’re the person trying to sign in but you don’t recognize the location shown, you can still tap Allow and continue signing in. However, if you ever see a notification that your Apple ID is being used to sign in on a new device and you're not the one signing in, tap Don’t Allow to block the sign in attempt."
