He sues Apple because his deleted infidelity messages ended up on his wife’s Mac

It seems that someone got involved with technology, and ended up blaming Apple for their infidelity. Or is Apple not very clear about deleting messages?

A man has denounced Apple and asks for 6 million euros in compensation, because The cheating messages he deleted from his iPhone ended up on his wife’s Mac… after deleting them. Is that possible?

According to the media The Timesan iPhone user, invented name Richard, He hired several prostitutes by sending messages from his personal iPhone. As he himself explains, he was very careful, because once sent, he deleted them.

That’s how he cheated on his wife for several years, until one day his wife synced the family account on the family Mac… and all the messages of her husband’s infidelity appeared suddenly.

The danger of family accounts

Richard complains that despite deleting the messages from his iPhone, they appeared even years later, when syncing the family account: “If the message had said, ‘These messages are deleted on this device,’ that would have been a clue. ‘These messages are deleted only on this device,’ would have been a much clearer indicator.”

As far as it goes, made the mistake of deleting messages to prostitutes only on the iPhone, but not on iCloud. Another mistake is to use your personal account with which you committed the infidelity, as an account associated with the family Mac account.

When his wife synced all the messages with the family account, The incriminating messages that were in the cloud were downloaded to the Mac. After reading them and recovering from the shock, she asked for the divorceand Richard had to pay her 6 million euros.

The mistakes made by Richard are innumerable.. From using your personal account to hire prostitutes, to using that same account as Shared Account familiar. If you’re going to be unfaithful, at least use an iPhone and a different account…

The point is, for Richard, The fault of the divorce is not his extramarital affairs, but Apple’s“There would have been a way to get over it if the reality hadn’t been so sudden, brutal and disturbing,” Richard told The Times. “We had been happily married for more than 20 years. A magnificent marriage went down the drain because of something many men and some women do.”

Ugh… Ask your lawyer not to call you to testify at the trial, Mr. Richard…

This outraged man has hired the British law firm Rosenblatt, which has filed a lawsuit against Apple for 6 million eurosplus divorce costs.

According to the lawsuit, “in many cases, the iPhone informs the user that the messages have been deleted, but, as we have seen, this is not true and is misleading because they are still found on other linked devices, something Apple does not say. to its users,” says lawyer Simon Walton of Rosenblatt.

“This clearly suggests that Apple is either concerned enough about this problem to hope it goes away by ignoring it, or that it simply doesn’t care about the rights of its users.”

We will see if the judge accepts the lawsuit against Apple of this user outraged because his wife asked him for a divorce, after discovering the infidelity messages that he had deleted… partially.
