A cheating husband is suing Apple after his wife was able to access messages he sent to sex workers but deleted them.
The middle-aged English businessman deleted the messages from his iPhone, but his wife found them on the family iMac and subsequently filed for divorce. The times reports.
He is chasing the tech giant for more than £5 million which he says he is losing as a result of the divorce and associated legal costs.
The man, who admitted to hiring sex workers through text messages for several years, said the divorce occurred “all because Apple told me my messages were deleted, when in fact they weren’t.”
Simon Waltonfrom London law firm Rosenblatt, said The telegraph: “Apple has not been clear with users about what happens to the messages they send and receive and, more importantly, delete.
“In many cases, the iPhone tells the user that 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 tell its users.”
