Most assuredly a scam. If Apple needs to contact you they have your phone number for any iPhone. They will likely text your iPhone. If you have no iPhone, it was a total scam.
Like the car warranty about to run out on your car, scam phone calls. They always are so worried about my car and the warranty and make sure I extend the warranty. They bastages always hang up when I tell them my newest car is a 86 El Camino with 371,000 miles.

Apple doesn't call people. That was fake.
Apple didn't call you, 99.99% chance that someone else called you, calling themselves Apple.

Don't blame Apple for that. They have plenty for people to be mad about without blaming them for scam phone calls.
Itunes is the worst piece of software ever distributed.

The "grandpa?" scammers always give me a chuckle...I have no grandkids. I usyualloy pretend that I think they're a grandkid, listen to the tale of woe, then say no to the $$$ request.

Since then, it got much, much, much better. Then it started going backwards. It's not as good as it was probably 5-10 years ago, but it's not "the worst piece of software ever." Or you really need to experience more crappy software so you can update your standards.

Why in the heck will it not let me see any of the photos I have on my phone. For the company known as making a product that is intuitive and easy to use, they really work hard to make it crappy software. And I have used software like Harvard Graphics back in the days of DOS 5. That really sucked to figure out and make it work. It took a special Autoexec.bat and special system files loaded to make it function.

And it doesn't just stop with the app, but the crap produced with the app certainly doesn't do it's street cred any favors.

If you buy a new MacBook with Catalina OS, how hard is it to 'regress' the OS back to a version that will actually run all the software you bought?

MS seems to play games.. I had a "Notify me of updates but don't d/l" setting. It downloaded a huge file anyways. Then the mouse became single-click-to-open which made the computer unusable. Files and programs would randomly open and close. Dragging a group of files opened them instead. Random behavior. Any further work was impossible. Like a virus had sabotaged my computer. Danger Will Robinson..." No windows for you!!!":  Is there a never option?  Would you like to choose now, later now, or just now?  You actually thought this was actually an option? Hahahahah. All your updates belong to us.  After all that...
