Husband blames iPhone “glitch” for suspicious photo and e-mail
by Scott Gilbreath ~ November 19th, 2008
A fascinating conversation appeared earlier this week at Apple’s online discussion board. A poster claimed to be a woman who had discovered troubling and suspicious items on her husband’s iPhone. When she asked about them, he claimed to be the victim of an iPhone “glitch”.
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!
Her question attracted 22 replies, almost all of which pooh-poohed her husband’s story. It’s impossible for images to attach themselves to e-mails, and equally impossible for unsent e-mails to appear in the “sent” folder.
Some respondents were hopeful that her marriage could be patched up, but most were not:
Your husband is lying to you. […] Not only is your husband cheating on you, he LIED. TO. YOU. AS. WELL.
[…]
The iPhone does not have this bug. Ditch the creep.
[…]
[T]his aint a glitch, your marriage has a glitch and its him, get rid of it, you are better off alone!
[…]
Your husband is cheating on you. You have the evidence. Now take him for everything he has.
Inevitably, two posters (or one poster using two different names) claimed the glitch had happened to them more than once. They were quickly dismissed as phonies—and perhaps her husband.
