The unidentified man, who is reportedly middle-aged, is seeking over £5 million ($6.34 million) from Apple—the same amount that was taken from him in the divorce and legal costs.
He told Times that he sought out sex workers when he was married and would reach out to them via the iMessage app on his iPhone. He would then delete the texts, but didn’t realize they hadn’t been deleted on the family’s iMac.
“In my opinion it’s all because Apple told me my messages were deleted when they weren’t,” he continued. “If the message had said, ‘These messages are deleted on this device’, that would have been a clue, or ‘These messages are deleted on this device only’ that would have been even better.”
