Quite possibly, a scandal of unprecedented proportions is approaching, the solution of which would be for Apple was definitely not pleasant. Specifically, we are talking about the strange recovery of long-deleted photos that Apple users have been struggling with since the update to iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5. These photos started on iPhonesuddenly appear on iPhones and iPads, even though they may not have been uploaded to them in the past.Cloud whether they were from the device i iCloudThey were deleted more than 10 years ago. But suddenly, some people's photos appeared in their photo galleries, looking as if they had been taken in the last few days. And it seems that it could be even worse.

Nestor completely erase the device
In the flood of complaints about the error, which are increasingly appearing under our articles on this topic, posts are also starting to appear from users who claim that their photos have started appearing on devices that they have long since sold and are not logged in under their names. Apple IDThis is exactly what one Reddit contributor made, claiming that he sold his old iPad to a friend in September 2023, saying that he had erased it according to the instructions on the website before selling it. Applu and after deleting it, you can now access the device under your Apple ID He did not log in. However, after updating to iPadOS 17.5, his friend contacted him saying that his photos suddenly started appearing on his iPad, even though the iPad has not been linked to the original owner's accounts for more than half a year. And the question is how many similar stories have happened in the world - after all, the market for used iPhones and iPads is huge.

Apple he is silent for now
Although criticism is starting to hit the head Applu roll to an ever-increasing extent, since the unexpected restoration of long-deleted photos is at least very strange and incomprehensible, the Californian giant has not yet commented on the whole matter and the question is what to actually think about this problem. However, one thing is clear. If it is indeed confirmed that you Apple backs up users' photos somewhere even after they are deleted from the device i iCloudand keeps these backups even after more than 10 years, it will definitely affect his credibility, as he definitely does not need such long backups.
In addition, if reports of photo recovery on properly wiped and subsequently sold devices are confirmed, it will have Apple definitely nothing to explain, as it would indicate not only backup based on login to iCloudat, but also apparently at the base Apple ID in combination with the device identifier. In short, Apple products may behave completely differently than we have thought so far.
Isn't this also against the GDPR? As far as I know, for example, due to GDPR, web hosts are not allowed to store website data for more than 30 days after service cancellation. And there is usually no personal information involved.
This is probably a different case, it is the insufficient deletion of photos in the phone's internal memory itself, and now, after a new update, it is managed as a recovery program, e.g. to restore my data, 3 photos appeared in iPhone but they are not on iPad and Mac and not even on iCloudand when I log in there, e.g. from Windows it is a well-known fact that if the file is not overwritten or filled with new data even on a deleted disk when, for example, you sell a PC, it can be restored, of course it is a Pruser, because at iPhone error choice, e.g. security deletion, multiple overwriting of the storage, as it is, for example, in the Mac
If after erasing the device and setting up a new icloud the account will display a photo from the previous icloudu so it's weird for that reason - right ios encryption is turned on by default, so I can't imagine how, when creating a new encryption key, it restores the photo somewhere from the disk of the previous owner and also "uploads" it to the photos...
Imperative” – EXACTLY !!!
“Imperator” .. typo
Apple it points to great security and then you can recover completely strangers deleted photos ♂️ 🤣🤷
About this Apple he can't say much, or he can, but it will bury the whole society - yes, we are the agents of the US government and we spy on your data for our economic purposes. He must rely on the fact that he will somehow figure it out - but I hope not.
This is not just about photos, they have everything stored and use as they see fit!
This is the EU 🇪🇺! A fine in the hundreds of billions of euros should not pass them by.
Don't expect anything from the EU 😉 - don't be naive.
Now I wonder what if Sideloading is to blame. They made him with a hot needle. The EU ordered and they worked quickly on it. On the one hand, they had to make some mechanisms available, even with memories (photos), to third parties. If it was an idea Apple, so they research and develop it for years before they release it. And some will argue but what about users what have iPhone outside the EU? Well, they're definitely just blocked in the system. As if Apple he didn't say that it could compromise the security of the system. This won't be a problem at all, evenCloud and server Apple. Since it's happening on the phone tooonech that were deleted. There will be a problem with some mechanism that interferes with memory. Apple clear will not enable all security to third parties. And just some mechanism after the update restored it. I wonder if this happens to more people within the EU or outside the EU.
It doesn't really matter what fault it is - what matters is that they have our data and are doing whatever with it, they are lying to us about privacy and security, and since we paid for their products - supposedly secure and supposedly privacy-preserving, it's a scam and we were ripped off.
well, if it's the fault of some change in the system and it only restored deleted photos from the phone's memory, then it could also be the fault of a faulty series of memory chips. and it certainly doesn't produce that apple. if they store photos for that long, it sucks. they should not. but if even after deletion apple id will it appear to someone without logging in to the original apple id so it's a memory chip defect because the data is encrypted. and yet varianta, what if some users make it up? So no photos appear? Either a faulty series of memory chips, or trolls are posting it, or people who are already using something for ios atypical like sideloading or they have a modified system. I wonder what it is. and if apple the EU interventionist erred. but then silence. what do we know
Sure, forpackanother iOS can sideloading :-D :-D :-D
I didn't write that Sideloading is to blame, but rather a question and what if it is? The system was NEVER built like that and they didn't have time to develop it for a long time. So more of a thought what if it's the one? But the fact that they want Sideloading people, that the EU gave it to them and Apple had to, doesn't mean it doesn't have to be a fault. It may or may not.
where did he write that sideloading is to blame? he wrote that he was wondering what if sideloading is to blame? the fact that it has an android does not mean that it cannot be fixed in the clearing system with a quick needle. and the right person should also think about what is to blame for it? what if sideloading?
And what if it's just idiots from Apphuh?
Me too nesthello with the photos. So I can't judge. I'm more annoyed by how Microsoft he also implemented into the "Photography" programCloud od Apple. When I evenCloud added to Photos from Windows, so I ran into all the photos I have in iPhone. But if I deleted them in the Photos app from MS, these photos remained. When I deleted them in this app from MS on Windowsat, they stayed in iPhoneSo the question is what else do people have synchronized with?Cloud or what they had it paired to. It could have been restored from something unofficial. That needs to be investigated and Apple they have to solve this. We'll see
