The incident has become an internet sensation after the wife, named Susan, made a posting on Apple's discussion forum asking for technical support.
She was trying to find out whether her husband had a genuine excuse, even though she had already caught him making late night phone calls and sending messages to other women.
She wrote: "Please help! I took my husband's iPhone and found a raunchy picture of him attached to an e-mail to a woman in his sent e-mail file.
"When I approached him about this (I think that he is cheating on me) he admitted that he took the picture but says that he never sent it to anyone.
"He claims that he went to the Genius Bar at the local Apple store and they told him that it is an iPhone glitch: that photos sometimes automatically attach themselves to an e-mail address and appear in the sent folder, even though no e-mail was ever sent."
Susan asked the Apple experts on the discussion board to tell her if they had ever heard of the bug, saying "the future of my marriage depends on this answer".
Her account on the Apple site says she is from New Jersey.
Most people on the forum told her the excuse was laughable, but interestingly, two newly-registered users posted responses saying they had experienced a similar glitch.
However, regulars on the forum soon queried whether the posts came from Susan's husband.
Susan even described the picture in question on the forum.
"It was a close-up shot of him pleasuring himself taken at the exact moment of maximum pleasure," she wrote.
"It's such a good shot that one must wonder if he actually practiced it a few times before getting it right."
Susan thanked the discussion board and said her lawyer was "working on the divorce complaint".
WOW, I guess I’d better not get that iPhone I was thinking about, because in my line of work I really can’t afford to have photos of Steve Jobs’ genitals mysteriously attach themselves to emails I send out......
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
LOL!
Well, that was...ummm...awkward.
lolol
Don’t leave him, Susan!
You two were meant for each other......................
You owe me a new monitor.
I have an old 15” incher sitting around, I can send it free to you COD, no problem, lol
