A CHEATING husband who texted sex workers on his iPhone plans to sue Apple for £5million after his wife found the messages on a linked computer.
The middle-aged dad said he would arrange liaisons via iMessages, which he would then delete.
But his wife clicked on the same app on the family’s iMac and found his last text.
She then discovered supposedly deleted messages stretching back several years, and filed for divorce within a month.
Now the businessman, who lives in England, aims to recover cash he lost in the separation, plus legal costs — arguing Apple does not make it clear iMessages can be seen on linked devices.
He told The Times: “It’s all very painful. It was a very brutal way of finding out for my wife.
“My thoughts are, if I had been able to talk to her rationally and she had not had such a brutal realisation of it, I might still be married.”
London law firm Rosenblatt said Apple had not replied to it.
The Sun approached Apple for comment.
