In a now-deleted post, a Reddit user last week alleged that their photos reappeared on an iPad they sold to a friend, despite them having erased the content of that iPad prior to selling it. Apple tells me that this claim was false.

I had a feeling this was the case. It makes absolute zero sense that a fully erased device on a different Apple ID could have this issue.

It was such an obvious troll. Nobody with the slightest knowledge of how iOS works bought it. Just click bait.

This is weird especially because iOS uses file based encryption, and when resetting the device the key is thrown away. So even if the files were still there, they would not be readable. I think they didn't reset the device properly and instead deleted the apps manually is likely why this happened
