  So they sold a phone with their iCloud account connected. Which means all of their current emails, photos, contacts, bookmarks, browsing history, location etc was also available.

    I don't know, I'm just the messenger. My instinct is also to assume they didn't reset their phone, but I also assumed Apple deleted their photos when they deleted them years ago. I wouldn't be shocked to find it there's some technical cruft around it being a built in mandatory app, and corrupted data was retained. In fact, when I think about it, if I wasn't biased towards Apple, my prior after a bug involving photo deletion should be to expect bugs involving photo deletion.

  There was one deleted reddit post claiming that and five hundred million blog posts that repeated it.
