The other day, someone I know very well (I shall not reveal his identity) called me for some emergency tech support. He had been importing photos from his iPhone to iPhoto on his Mac. A lot of photos. Just over a thousand photos, to be precise. After the import had apparently completed, a message popped up stating that the original photos were being deleted from the iPhone. During this process, iPhoto crashed.Related StoriesApple patents inductive Smart Cover: could charge iPad, iPhone, iWatch all at onceiPad 5 patent: inductive Smart Cover contains battery
