No, the iPhone will not accidentally email photos of your nekkid husband

Men, be careful with the lies your tell your wives. See, there's this thing called the Internet which is... uh, like a series of tubes connecting everybody. On The Internets you'll find services like Google and places to discuss just about anything imaginable, even the iPhone. So when you tell your wife that there's a bug in the iPhone that causes photos of your naughty bits to "sometimes automatically attach themselves to an e-mail address and appear in the sent folder, even though no e-mail was ever sent," well, it won't take long before she's on the Apple Discussion forums asking if this is true. Buddy, we hope you get what you deserve.

In Russia, iPhone sents you.

[ybd @ Nov 18th 2008 7:44AM]

In Soviet Russia you are actually funny

[Ethan @ Nov 18th 2008 8:05AM]

In Soviet Russia, a bad joke makes you! (and me)

[High Ranks make you sterile @ Nov 18th 2008 9:11AM]

In Russian, the lame joke you typed would have made "sents" grammatically.

USA! USA!

"Well, if you must know ... it was a close-up shot of him pleasuring himself taken at the exact moment of maximum pleasure."

i say, wtf?!

[Hung @ Nov 18th 2008 4:45PM]

"why would someone take a raunchy picture of themselves with an iPhone without having the intention of sending it to someone?"

"Its a glitch, but only happens if the pic is sufficiently raunchy."




I like the part when people posted helpful comments, like those above (although the first one is pretty helpful).

[Ike Turner @ Nov 18th 2008 6:40AM]

Can with have a rating option for news posts too (like the comments)
so I can Low Rank this one?

WTF was that nonsense about?

Slow news day,?

Oh well..can't rate you down but can AD-Block you....

[loocas @ Nov 18th 2008 6:49AM]

Oh, no, you wouldn't!

...

OH MAN! You're so naughty! ;)

[Graham @ Nov 18th 2008 8:21AM]

Since when do you come to a *blog* to read *news*?

[High Ranks make you sterile @ Nov 18th 2008 9:10AM]

I got a chain e-mail saying that if I don't send this to 50 people in 10 minutes a monster is going to come kill me and harvest my body for Stem Cell Research....

That lie is just as qualified to be a story on here as the first lie... I demand "media" attention.

[UnixSystemsEngineer @ Nov 18th 2008 1:55PM]

Seriously? This is the funniest thing I've seen on engadget in days. Granted, it's not news, but it is funny.

[loocas @ Nov 18th 2008 6:48AM]

Yeah... just laugh as you like. You're not the one with your genitals all over the Internets...

[evil_m0nkey @ Nov 18th 2008 6:54AM]

that poor soul

[Ryback @ Nov 18th 2008 6:55AM]

Why didn't he just say the picture and e-mail was work-related. He could have told her it was a picture of a cow's udder squirting milk. The iPhone camera is so bad she probably would have fell for it.

[BigD @ Nov 18th 2008 6:56AM]

I love the T-Mobile iPhone...fight the power!

[BigD @ Nov 18th 2008 7:03AM]

Wait...you're probably in Europe....my bad.

[7on @ Nov 18th 2008 9:25AM]

Defintely Europe. USA T-mobile doesn't get the ... after it. That's because Germany's would show up as T-Mobile DT which puts it over.

[Andrew @ Nov 18th 2008 11:26AM]

That would probably be T-mobile DE, not DT. The TLD for Deutschland is also .de

[Trent @ Nov 18th 2008 7:04AM]

I am not sure what is worse...the man's pathetic lie or the woman's ignorance that she had to consult an Apple discussion board.

So how about them Greenjeans???

[Thi mam(kris120890) @ Nov 18th 2008 7:09AM]

The only thing that has a glitch now is her marriage.

[SPOKE @ Nov 18th 2008 7:10AM]

I dont see how this is a big deal. What did he gain or lost by telling her this. OK OK.. it PRETENDS to send the mail, but dosnt.. maybe hes just an idiot. ADMIT NOTHING... and don't pose for stupid photos!

[absinthe party @ Nov 18th 2008 7:11AM]

Best story to wake up to, ever.

"Buddy, we hope you get what you deserve."

...a medal?

[7egend @ Nov 18th 2008 7:17AM]

Choppy Choppy Pee Pee.

[Johan S @ Nov 18th 2008 7:19AM]

I know some girls who are so stupid that when their boyfriend tells them an excuse for evidence even MORE damning and obvious than this they actually believe it.

I'm going to give Susan credit for not being as dumb as many people.

[Ryback @ Nov 18th 2008 7:54AM]

Reminds me if Eddie Murphy in Raw.

A friend of mine had a fling with an English girl while on vacation. They had lots of fun with each other. He then sent a very detailed email back to his homeboys in Japan. Only he accidentally sent it to his girlfriend back home. So far so bad. I kind of thought he was doomed but later, I learned that he had told her he made all this stuff up in order to impress his friends; she believed him; they were still together. Pretty incredible.

[MM @ Nov 18th 2008 7:26AM]

This guy must imagine that the woman is a complete moron? Or maybe he is...

[Ian @ Nov 18th 2008 10:07AM]

The woman is a complete moron... she bought it enough to go online, subscribe to forums, and ask... pretty funny if you ask me

[BratPAQ @ Nov 18th 2008 8:36AM]

this should be on failblog.org, not here in engadget.

[cb88 @ Nov 18th 2008 11:31AM]

yes but it involved an iPhone so of course it would be on engadget....

[csmitty @ Nov 18th 2008 8:44AM]

Wow, whats he got his auto check to? I can hardly get it to check the inbox much less the sent folder.

[BratPAQ @ Nov 18th 2008 8:48AM]

Genius Bar? WTF?

[Trancesetter @ Nov 18th 2008 8:50AM]

No, by no means will the iPhone be able to send anything without your previous concent. Just look here:

[SmartSid @ Nov 18th 2008 9:08AM]

I wasted my time reading this blog.

[Tohe @ Nov 18th 2008 9:09AM]

So this is what it takes to be featured in Engadget? lol

If she is for real, she should go viral with his pic and send it to everyone he knows and not.

Yes, I can click the Read link too.

[Andrew @ Nov 18th 2008 9:40AM]

a simple "that link is the 'read' button" would suffice. but thanks for comin' out.

[Neoprimal @ Nov 18th 2008 9:58AM]

These apple people are so creative in their denial about stuff.

[Ian @ Nov 18th 2008 10:07AM]

I for one thought the "glitch" was a pretty funny and desperate bit of hokum. The fact that the wife had to go online to ask means they are both tards...

[phail @ Nov 18th 2008 10:27AM]

eh, not really. compared to the readers of this blog maybe, but i'm sure a few of my older family members would have bought it.

[BJ is Gooder @ Nov 18th 2008 12:00PM]

If she's 'tarded then hopefully she can be a pilot someday.

[Jay @ Nov 18th 2008 10:25AM]

Ha ha ha ha!

I do feel bad for the woman... but that is one of the most hilarious stories I've read on here in a while! Her husband must REALLY think she's an idiot.


What a great way to start my day. =P

[EMoShunz @ Nov 18th 2008 10:30AM]

i just have to post my bad joke, apologies in advance...
this is what happens when your iphone is not touched enough, it wants you to look at it's iballs

[prnkmonkie @ Nov 18th 2008 10:59AM]

People are this dumb? Really? Why can't I find a woman this naive?!

[Caleb @ Nov 18th 2008 7:02PM]

I've known people of both genders that are that dumb.

[Dylan @ Nov 18th 2008 11:06AM]

Wait, I thought the Inquirer was one of those bullshit tabloids you see at checkout caps with headlines like "Man Marries His iPhone, Expecting Twins". Engadget, don't mess with me like this.
