I've been having a nightmare with my devices and can't figure out what's going on. I first noticed issues with my old iPhone and then discovered my previous Galaxy S10 had been opened and poorly glued back together. My old laptop only functioned when plugged in, and I found screws missing. This all leads me to believe my devices might have been tampered with physically, possibly by an ex who I suspect is behind this.
I wiped my laptop professionally and bought a new iPhone and iPad, setting up a fresh iCloud account. However, I've still encountered weird behavior: after factory resetting the new iPhone, Bluetooth turns on automatically, and there are uninstalled apps that I never added. Plus, my location was showing as being miles away from where I actually am, which isn't typical.
After inspecting my chargers, I noticed that some appeared different and were "backwards" compared to others, plus I found an unexpected USB on my work laptop. I'm wondering if all these physical signs could be linked to hacking or if it's more likely my WiFi is compromised. Any thoughts?

It sounds like you're going through a lot right now. It's completely valid to feel overwhelmed. Just be mindful that sometimes heightened awareness of small tech changes can make things feel worse than they are. Try to focus on monitoring your devices securely and maybe consult a professional for your peace of mind.
Thanks, I appreciate that! It’s just hard to ignore these strange occurrences.
