Recently I had to restore my iPhone 6+ from iCloud. After that while setting up it asked me for my App Store password which I entered. Then after a few steps it asked me for the same thing again but this time it gave a different Apple ID which does not belong to me. This iPhone is bought from Apple online. Never been to any repair shop. I googled the email address and it seems other people had encounter the exact same email address after restoring their phone Take a look -  This post has been edited by idoblu: Feb 25 2016, 07:09 PM

Just curious where the Apple ID came from. Maybe assembly plant worker? When I check my iTunes and App Store setting, it gives me my correct Apple ID and show that I'm already signed in.

Looks like a China email account. Maybe your phone was tampered by the assembly staff before reaching your hands.

It correctly asked for my Apple ID's password the first time. Why does it asked twice?
