Cheating husband sues Apple after wife discovered ‘deleted’ messages sent to sex workers

The Briton believes he might still be married if his partner had not found the secret messages

The unfaithful husband, who has not been named but is reportedly a middle-aged man from England, claims Apple’s lack of transparency over deleted messages led to his wife filing for divorce. He told The Times he had turned to prostitutes in the final years of his marriage, and would contact them through the iMessage app on his iPhone before deleting the texts. Simon Walton, from London law firm Rosenblatt which is representing the businessman, told the Telegraph that “Apple had not been clear with users as to what happens to messages they send and receive and, importantly, delete”.
