I used 2step verification for gmail and found it to be a total pain. I gave it up after 6 months.
I lost access to my long-standing gmail account when changing phone de-authenticated Authenticator (didn' think of that!) and none of the follow-up systems worked ("we can't send an SMS to that phone number, even though we asked you for it and said it was ok to use and it receives SMS" etc. But I woudl imagine Apple have thought it through better.
Google have even blocked the back-up address (my work one) attached to the account (which they didn't deign to use to reset the authentication) from being used in its own right so whenever work sets up a google docs and invites me, I have to email everyone to tell them to use an entirely different address (and explain, and answer the 'why don't you just...' emails with 'yes I did, about eight times...' blah blah!)
