It's not "really bad" because they didn't store deleted photos, in general. A bug caused some not to be deleted properly.

- HaZeust 2y agoThat is still really bad, what?
- kube-system 2y agoIt's fairly bad in terms of triaging a software bug. But it's not particularly bad in terms of newsworthiness.
- makeitdouble 2y agoA compounding issue would be refurbished, handed down and resold devices. None of the Apple devices have removable SSDs at this point, and many buyers rely on their resale value to shuffle devices every 2 or 3 years. That's a lot of devices in the wild with potentially resurfacing data.
- alphabettsy 2y agoThe devices have full-disk encryption. That data is not recoverable without the passcode. If it’s been wiped it’s not recoverable.
- ezfe 2y agoThere's zero actual evidence this is the case and the failure mechanism would extend FAR beyond photos if it were. One post claims they wiped a device and photos came back but I hesitate to trust a single person on the internet.
