No serious person would fall for any of these. I wouldn't, for sure.
To clarify:
* My WiFi is protected with WPA2-PSK AES with a non-random passphrase nobody can guess.
* Everything I do is over HTTPS.
* I change my passwords regularly.
* I don't use the same passwords for different sites.
* I don't use password managers. Ever.
* I never use public WiFi. If I would, at all, I would not transmit any passwords without proper precautions (such as using VPN).
* I don't use 'automatic updating' for iTunes or anything like that (I don't use iTunes in any case).
* I would never accept an OTA update for my phone without knowing the exact details, and most likely would get it from the manufacturers' site and update manually.
Can't imagine why anyone would want to 'track' me anyway. But whoever wants to try will have a serious job doing so.
That said, this is really a serious problem, it is quite worrisome and should not be allowed.
