I have the same problem. Only when signing in to my Apple ID. My iPhone knows that I am in Washington state (in the Maps program, for example), but it notifies me that someone is trying to sign into my account in Arizona. Why does it think I am a thousand miles away? Perhaps it has something to do with the WiFi in my house, which is a satellite-based service. It's annoying in any case, because it acts like an impostor is trying to sign into my account. Based on the timing, I know it's ME.
