Someone’s using fake apple addresses to fool my iPhone and let’s them access into my iPhone as if it were their own.

What do I do about the upstairs neighbors using some type of homemade cell tower emulator and also using fake apple sites to cheat their way into my phone and my life, I have already canceled my fiber service and u levees service due to them turning anything wireless into an ap to be able to access through and I’m getting quite fed up on it

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 15

Keep the iPhone updated to the latest iOS always and never Jailbreak. That's it.


iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware if it is updated to the latest iOS/iPadOS unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed on your device or/and have Jail Broken. 


It (Hacking) also depends on how careful are you in sharing sensitive and valuable information pertaining to your iPhone such as Passcode, Password etc with your friends and family members.


Be careful when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable information with friends and family members.


Thumb Rules:

  1. Enable  Guided Access before handing over an iPhone to kids
  2. Don't share Apple IDs
  3. Don't Jail Break
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device and payment methods
  5. Beware of Phishing
