As @Davidw says, this guy’s story has holes in it. 

That's not what Davidw said. He said it's not a phishing scam. He didn't say if it was a hoax, YT stunt, or a very sophisticated attack. But it's clear this wasn't a typical phasing scam. Maybe David could elaborate.

Yes, the holes were in the description of some of the sequences of events. e.g. if you've just changed your password, you can't get 2FA requests.

The issue with spoofing is intrinsic in the insecure SS7 signalling protocol — developed when there were just a few trusted global telcos; these days its a free-for-all.

For me all Apple earphones wouldn’t stay in my ears except AirPods Pro. Hard job to please all the people…

As @Davidw says, this guy’s story has holes in it. As @22july2013 says, people wouldn’t give strangers key info in the real world.

The suit further alleged that Apple does little to police the App Store because it benefits from developers pushing high-priced subscriptions onto users.

This developer does seem to have been hard done by. And Apple does benefit from every scam app they don’t prevent. 

Let’s hope this privileged background daemon doesn’t get confused (or hacked) and remediate the wrong stuff! Reminds me of the time Google’s evil Keystone ran amok on some systems.
