A man is suing Apple after his wife discovered deleted messages with an escort on the family computer, leading to a divorce.
In a court case that might seem like something out of a movie script, An English businessman is suing Apple, accusing the company of not having clarified how deleting messages works between devices connected to the same Apple ID. The controversy began when the man’s wife discovered messages on the family iMac that he had deleted from his iPhone, messages implicating him in inappropriate conversations with an escort.
The discovery that led to the divorce
Although the man had deleted the messages from his mobile device, they remained accessible on his iMac at home, which was linked to the same Apple ID. The discovery led to the end of the marriage, with the wife filing for divorce and subsequently obtained compensation of £5 million.
The man claims that a simple conversation could have saved their marriage if the messages had not been discovered, but now he finds himself having to face the legal and personal consequences of his actions.
The man’s explanation
The man’s lawsuit points the finger at Apple for failing to adequately inform users that deleting messages from one device does not mean they are deleted from all devices associated with the same account.
The man claims that Apple’s claims are misleading, as deleted messages remain accessible on other connected devices. His lawyer, Simon Walter, expressed frustration with the way Apple handles message deletion information, stressing that the company should provide more explicit warnings about multiple devices.
