Email Affair Due to iPhone Bug? Not Likely

Follow us on Twitter

I had to laugh when finding this question on an Apple tech support forum. Obviously the poor woman involved is not too tech-savvy.

Please help! I took my husband's i-phone and found a raunchy picture of him attached to an e-mail to a woman in his sent e-mail file (a Yahoo account). When I approached him about this (I think that he is cheating on me) 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 that it is an i-phone glitch: that photos sometimes automatically attach themselves to an e-mail address and appear in the sent folder, even though no e-mail was ever sent. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? The future of my marriage depends on this answer!

Needless to say, there was very little support for her husband's, er, glitch excuse in the support forum. Let's remember that he admitted he took the picture himself.

Me, I'd say the following:

  1. Let's assume it could magically attach itself to an email. How did it get addressed?
  2. Let's assume there's some glitch that selects a contact as well. It's unclear if the woman checked to see if there was a subject (hard to imagine that would happen automatically) or text in the email body.
  3. Even if there was such as glitch as 2) above, is the woman even in his contacts? If so, why is she in his contacts? While you're at it, how about checking his call log?

Strange how she didn't just call an Apple Store to talk to a Genius, as well. Anyway, it's pretty obvious what's going on here: she is in denial. Her final message in the thread was this:

Well, if you must know ... it was a close-up shot of him pleasuring himself taken at the exact moment of maximum pleasure. (I'm trying to remain G-rated here.) It's such a good shot that one must wonder if he actually practiced it a few times before getting it right!

Add that picture to the late night phone calls and some other miscellaneous texts and e-mails that I found ... and this is not the first woman ... and let's just say that my atty is working on the divorce complaint.

Nonetheless, I wanted to remain open to the possibility that it was all some big mistake (I think that he is the big mistake) and thank everyone who provided input on this discussion.

I think the fact that there was other evidence, and the fact that he obviously cheated before, and you have to say: dump the guy. Nice try, though.
