Bought new Apple SE phone

Bought this phone this morning and I am getting notifications that someone near Peterborough is using my Apple ID . I live in South West. I’ve changed my password already. What should I do?

If this is an e-mail you received, or a popup on the screen,  about the time you were actually logging in, there is probably nothing to worry about. The location in the e-mail is where your ISP reported it. If their servers are in a location distant from you, there will be a large error. Based on other posts I have read, the distant error can be very large.


You can also check your device list to see if there is a device signed in that you don't recognize. You can remove the device using the steps in the article below.
