Apple Device

It says there is an “Apple mobile device” connected to my WiFi. It’s not my phone and nobody has my WiFi password? It says it’s connection type is unknown? What does this mean?

It is not uncommon for rogue devices to 'show up' in your network.  All that it means is that the phone tried to connect to your network, and that the network noted the device even though it did not connect. IF you want the monitor your network there are apps that will show devices connected to your network or you could do it using the Command Prompt on a windows computer.  If you are interested in learning the technique, let me know and I will post step by step instructions.  You may also read the following article and use the suggestions contained therein:   https://appuals.com/fix-unknown-strange-devices-showing-network/
