Man Blames iPhone Glitch For Nude Photos

A woman calling herself Susan042764 posted a question on the Apple support forums asking if a "technical glitch" could be responsible for nude photos of her husband she found attached to an email. She wrote,"Please help! I took my husband's iPhone and found a raunchy picture of him attached to an email to a woman in his sent email file. When I approached him about this, he admitted that he took the picture, but says that he never sent it to anyone. He claims that he went to the Genius Bar at the local Apple store and they told him it is an iPhone glitch — that photos sometimes automatically attach themselves to an email address and appear in the sent folder, even though no email was ever sent. Has anyone ever heard of this happening?" Assuming this is true, it has to be one of the lamest excuses ever.

    ..Only an Apple user could possibly believe that.

    It's the same glitch found in some brands of condoms. Hear that sweetie? I admit to putting the condom on with another woman, and while it appears that we used it for sex, it's just a minor glitch! Honest!

    I still don't see how that justifies him having raunchy photographs of himself on his phone in the first place, unless the iPhone was responsible for that too. (In which case, I would like to exempt from the iStalk features.)

      Well it is his phone, if he wants to take pics of himself then there is nothing wrong with that...

    Why was she going through his emails? Specifically his "sent" folder. You don't just need to login in... you actually need to put some concious effort into navigating into the sent mail folder. She was clearly snooping. Marriage = fail.

      Because she didn't trust him, which she obviously shouldn't have. :P

      correct... you should never trust someone who takes nude photos of themselves. Its ok if someone else wants to take nude photos of you, but if you take them of yourself you are obviously seriously lacking in judgement.

      BTW I have nude photos of myself if anyone wants.

      If this bug is true.. then, if my girlfriend takes nude pictures of me. All my 'bros' will accidentally get them.

      So I guess relationships do ruin other relationships?

    My favorite part is the two people who reply authoritatively explaining that it is a glitch. One of the users just signed up and that was their only post.
