Why did Apple creat theft protection to harm users and to force consumers to pay for unauthorized purchases.

Apple has taken action against a consumer exercising consumer rights. More specifically, Apple has intentionally inflicted harm to my computers iPhones and service accounts. More specifically, Apple has used theft protection and security delays claiming my phone was in an unfamiliar location why at the same time Apple Maps, Apple photos and other Apple apps had me in the same exact familiar location. I contacted Apple and put them on notice about being targeted by this so called theft protection feature. This is not a theft protection feature. This is a way to force consumers to pay for unauthorized purchases!

iPhone 14, iOS 17

Your post doesn't make sense. That feature has nothing to do with "unauthorized purchases" and is meant to make life harder for a thief who swipes your iPhone while it is unlocked, or after they have surreptitiously watched you enter your passcode.

As for putting Apple "on notice", this is a user-to-user forum. You are not speaking to Apple here.

🤦‍♂️ I put apple on notice about the issues I was experiencing. I had to contact Apple over ten times. I have the case numbers documented. I have never turned theft protection on. My devise was being accessed. I turned it off ten times. This all happened after an unauthorized transaction dispute. Apple even disabled my App Store account and disabled my phone for over 30

minutes.
