It is simply advertising.

Login to your Apple ID. Navigate to language and contact preferences. Uncheck the email box for Apple News and Announcements.

You may want to refrain posting copies of those emails. The links at the bottom are exposing your personal email address (when clicked). not a good idea. Plus they really do make the thread a royal pain to read 🙂

Hello supportVII

It is not spam email, as that is something that you are subscribed to currently. If you want to be removed, look at the article below and scroll towards the second half of the page and you will get a link to unsubscribe from all Apple email correspondence.

Look at the bottom of your last post. It is commercial email from Apple that you must have agreed to, possibly without realizing it. See where it says, "If you prefer not to receive commercial email from Apple, or you've changed your email address, please click here." Click here and remove yourself from the list.

Hi, I never accepted to receive emails from Apple but I received this email, too. Of course I cancelled my subscription, but the strange thing is that the email that received the email IS NOT the real email I use: as you surely know, if you have an account with Gmail like my.account@gmail.com, you automatically have myaccount@gmail.com, the same but without the dot.

Let's say I use the one with the dot, I received the email addressed to the other one, account I NEVER used in my life and which normally receives a lot of spam.

Strange, don't you think?

Impossible, otherwise a new device would have appeared in Find my device. And then I use all the security options such as two-step verification.😕

However, soon I will modify it.😉

Um, no. Someone else using your Apple ID wouldn't cause a new device to show up in Find My Device. Only if they used your Apple ID on their device under Settings > iCloud, and also turned on the Find My iPhone function would that happen.

Two-step verification prevent this totally, in any case.

This is not spam. It's advertising, because you elected to sign up for that. Simply follow the directions you've been given to opt out.

I have seen. But in the first email? I didn't buy a new Macbook Pro.

Unless someone else is using your Apple ID? You might want to consider changing the password on your Apple ID account, in case that has been compromised.
