1: It’s not an Apple domain.

2: It’s an utterly hilariously bogus claim, as batteries don’t get infected.

3: if the scammers could do what they claimed and scan your device, that same total access means they’d just rip off everything directly.

4: it’s a pop-up advertisement, and since when as a pop-up advertisement been anything but bogus, a lie, or a scam?
