There's only one state in the U.S., and since it's an iPhone, sorry, kind of assuming you're in the States, that that's true in.

In other words they can kick rocks. Assholes wanted at-will employment. They got at-will employment.

No! My permanent record!

I mean - it kind of is? I believe a company is allowed to ask another company if they’re eligible for rehire - and they record those things in their HR systems.

This is true. The other company can ask HR to consult the big book of grudges to determine if there are indeed grudges.

Given that person already found a new job, if they plan to keep it for long, the previous company's record won't be useful anymore.

No you see it's supposed to be at their will, not your will.

They're not wrong though, assuming they're in the UK and/or their contract agrees a minimum of two weeks notice, as is standard.
This applies both ways. I expect this employee would be angry if their employer breached their contract to sack them immediately without this notice, but if the employee breaches those same terms of their agreed contract that's....okay? No.
Regardless of their feelings, it's very unprofessional, petty even, and depending on how litigious and unhappy with them their employer is, not a very smart idea.
There are many edge cases where things must be looked at differently of course (someone resigning over harassment at work would not wish to remain there for a fortnight serving their notice for example), but this must be discussed and agreed upon, because again, it deviates from the legally binding contractual agreement they both signed.
This employee, regardless of any legitimate grievances, in this communication is unprofessional, petty, and frankly childish.
While I don't know the story behind their falling out, I suspect the employer will be glad to see them go. I wouldn't want them working for me, or even work with them as a colleague. They sound awful.

Where does the iPhone -> US connection come from?

They do keep records, but rarely share them.
If your prospective employer says that they didn't hire you because of what a previous employer said about you, and that previous employer doesn't have rock solid evidence, then you can sue for lost wages, defamation, and get a nice chunk of money.
When people called the store I was managing to get info on past employees, the only thing we would confirm was the time range they worked for us,
