App stating new apple 7 device connected? Nobody in family owns an apple?

hello, title states it.  Nobody in family owns an Apple I phone 7 and is green and showing connected to gateway.  Our neighbors are 400' away from each other.  I paused it then upaused and it connected again?  Accused my teenage son of sneaking a phone but he had nothing.  I phone 7 description says model i phone 7 and operation system is Windows 10 ???   My wife uses her HP lap top at school and remembers using an apple phones hotspot to gain internet but school is 20 min away?
