A man discovered by his wife to be taking pictures of his genitals with his iPhone and then sending the pictures to another woman, has denied responsibility. It was all due, he said, to an "iPhone glitch".
The iPhone is Apple's glitzy entry into mobile telephony. The man, whom we shall call Gerald, was rumbled by his wife, whom we shall call Susan, after Susan decided to inspect Gerald's sleek new iPhone, and found the unexpected pictures in the sent folder.
Susan confronted her husband, who admitted he had taken the pictures but denied sending them to anyone. The glitch, he said, was a known iPhone issue. He had been told this, he said, by the people at the local Apple store. No photos had actually been sent - pictures "sometimes automatically attach themselves to an e-mail address and appear in the sent folder, even though no e-mail was ever sent", said Gerald.
Susan, unconvinced, decided to seek expert opinion. Where else, she reasoned, but the online Apple support forums. There she went and told the whole story and asked for guidance. Her marriage, she wrote, depended on it.
Susan's post attracted a variety of comments and advice.
"It's a glitch, but only happens if the pic is sufficiently raunchy," wrote one reader.
"I think your marriage has a glitch" wrote another.
In time, Susan also learned that the glitch issue had never previously been reported on Apple's support forums, and none of the users who replied to her post had ever heard of it.
Susan has written one final comment on the Apple forum, announcing that she has instigated divorce proceedings and thanking everyone for their input.
