Now we have someone suing Apple because they can't work out how to use iTunes to back up the phone....
Every time I lose data I assume it's because I'm too lazy to back up. Which is why I have up to 25 copies of some things... Others I lose.
Oh and the iPhone has not been going for 15 years... So.... Where did the contacts come from.
If I were the judge I'd tell him to take this as a lesson in life and learn how to back up his "irreplaceable and invaluable" data. I'm sure he would have sued a thief if the phone was stolen...
Just to add. Most batteries have 1,000 charges from birth to death. The iPhone does not have a replaceable battery. If he damaged the thunderbolt connection and the phone battery died????
