iPhone users: Be aware of this new ‘Apple High Alert’ scam

# Apple High Alert Scam: What You Need to Know Scammers are calling, texting, and emailing Apple users with fake urgent messages claiming your account or device has a security problem—but these alerts are fake and designed to steal your password or payment information. The scam doesn't exploit any real Apple weakness; instead, it relies on making you panic so you'll quickly hand over your login details without thinking. If you get an unexpected warning from "Apple," don't click any links or call any numbers in the message—instead, go directly to Apple.com or call Apple's official support line to verify if there's a real problem.
