Are your special blue iMessages acting up? Do they arrive late or maybe not at all? It looks like there’s a solution — and Apple is to blame.
According to Apple, the iMessage bug we posted yesterday isn’t really a bug. It’s a rare incident caused by an employee’s overeagerness to help a customer.
Every single iMessage to and from this man’s iPhone — his friends call him Wiz — has been sent to us by accident. We know about his job, his intimate life and address. Apple, you might want to fix this.
Beware: if your iPhone gets stolen, it will keep receiving messages sent via iMessage even after a remote wipe out and deactivation. The thief — or whoever buys the stolen terminal — would be able to read whatever is written to you.
It’s easy to be jealous of some of the cool mobile-only apps and functions in iOS 5 that aren’t available on OS X. But rumours have two of the more desirable ones — AirPlay mirroring and iMessage — in development for a future OS X release.
