This isn’t true at all.
It was hackers ringing up phone companies, acting as celebrities or agents and asking for replacement SIMs. Or pretending to be Apple Support. And then social engineering around the MFA process. Apple’s security was on par with everyone else in the industry.

Apple denied that this was the cause of the celebrity photo releases, but they also patched several bugs relating to security and began promoting two-factor authentication. https://www.dailydot.com/debug/apple-icloud-brute-force-attack-march/ https://www.dailydot.com/debug/apple-icloud-brute-force-atta...
