Original Title: iPhone 27 pro
Incrementally shutting off communications paths and disabling Apple iCloud access and other steps likely also taken here seem an expensive and problematic way to create yourself an ad-hoc feature phone.
Having already sought to lock down your iPhone into something approaching an ad-hoc feature phone, you can and probably will still have concerns over the security and integrity of your ad-hoc feature phone, and those concerns unanswerable. This because proving a negative — that an immensely well-funded adversary has not compromised this ad-hoc iPhone, or a purpose-built feature phone, or any other local devices — is impossible.
So… why bother paying for an iPhone that is then rendered mostly non-functional, all while still exposed to your perceived immensely well-funded adversary?
If you are correct here and you are a target, then you need tailored help with your security requirements and practices. Help well beyond what can be offered around here too, given the sorts of sensitive and private discussions involved.
And the sorts of exploits you are concerned about would be (are) immensely expensive, and targeted, and well past what the folks around here can assist with.
Within this thread so far, I see nothing indicating a security compromise.

Hi Jeff Donald,
Thanks for the suggestions, but the Apple support doesn’t work because most of them just want to convince you that your iPhone doesn’t get hacked.
I’ve been there and done that!!!
I don’t want to waste more time with them.
Thanks again. 😊
Likely because you haven't been hacked. It's EXTREMELY difficult and OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive to hack an iPhone. You must be someone VERY wealthy and important on the world stage for you to be a target of being hacked? if you're not, sorry to disappoint you, but you're simply not worthy of being hacked. And the screenshots you posted don't show anything to backup your claim of being hacked.
More importantly, I'm not sure what you expect anyone on this user to user only forum to do if you were even remotely correct that you've been hacked? Since you must be very wealthy, you should hire a Forensic IT person to help you. We certainly can't do anything about you being hacked, which you honestly haven't been.
Nope. It's simply not happening. Sorry. You are not hacked. No only is trying to use your camera to spy on you.
You are not going to be able to prove you've been hacked because you have not been hacked.
I highly recommend you return your iPhone and go get yourself a dumb phone. You're never going to believe that you haven't been hacked, so there is no point in pursuing the use of a smart device. The moment you see something you don't quite understand, it will just fuel your paranoia again.
Your phone is not hacked.
Turn off airplane mode and try again.
The likelihood of any Apple device being “hacked” is nearly impossible.
However, you can enable Lockdown Mode
Nope. You have not been hacked. So long as you insist on pursuing that line of thinking, you will not solve whatever problem you actually have.
So you haven't signed in your Apple Account AND you're on Airplane mode. None of which is mysterious or weird.
You seem to not know much about how to use your iPhone. Jeff Donald above was correct that you should visit your Apple Store Genius Bar for help.
fish on!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Someone works for Apple Store in Anchorage here, and his
brother works for GCI (my phone carrier)
that may explain why I got sim cloned right way!!!

Hi IdrisSeabright,
I shut down the brand new iPhone 17 pro
immediately!!!
The result is still the same….
My iPhone 17 has been hacked just like my
iPhone 15, iPhone 12 and other Apple devices…. 😭😭😭
Thanks!!! 😊
Hi lobsterghost1,
You say “It's EXTREMELY difficult and OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive to hack an iPhone.” ===> I agree with you on this.
Yes, it’s extremely difficult to hack an iPhone; unfortunately, the hacker has good knowledge on compute technology!!!
The hacker may be is the one from Google analytic employee who just fits in this situation.
You say “You must be someone VERY wealthy and important on the world stage for you to be a target of being hacked?”
==> I’m not wealthy and important on the world. I’m just simply regular person who love to take pictures and happy to live a simple life in Alaska!!! I'm very lucky to have tons of pictures that other people don’t have, and that’s why I have been targeted!!!
The hacker wants to steal my pictures!!! 😡
You say “So you haven't signed in your Apple Account AND you're on Airplane mode. None of which is mysterious or weird.”
==> By the way, how do you know I’m on Airplane mode?
I know my iPhone and other Apple devices have been hacked, but I don’t have enough knowledge of computer technology, so I’ve figured out the way to protect myself and my family!!!
Once again, I’m not rich on money but have tons of pictures different from other people!!!
I don’t do social medias things and forums. That’s why I don’t know how to use the forum very well…
You can assault me, but you won’t change the face that I’ve been hacked!!!
I don’t need to prove that I’ve been hacked!!! I’ve been suffered from the hacker since my father-in-law passed away…
My husband went to prepare funeral in low 48 and I couldn’t attend the funeral to pay my respects to my father-law because I needed to take care of our house in Alaska in the winter……
I come to this forum because I want to have solutions not for a fight….
The hacker knows that I don’t social with others… Pluse, my English is still not good enough….
That’s why I’m an easy target….
First you mention an iPhone 17 Pro Max. Later you mention an iPhone 15. Further along you mention and iPhone 12. They’ve all been hacked?
No one can help you, not even Apple. You will just have to learn to live with your ‘hacker’. Sorry.
iPhone 17 Pro hacked immediately after updating to iOS 26.0.1
