Adobe Lightroom iOS update permanently deleted users' photos:
A recent update to the Adobe Lightroom app permanently deleted some iOS users' photos and presets, an Adobe rep confirmed on the Photoshop feedback forums. Adobe has since corrected the issue, which was first spotted by PetaPixel, but not before drawing the ire of many disappointed users.
[...] Needless to say, users who had just lost photos and presets were not happy. "Rikk, we understand the announcement, however this doesn't solve the problem," wrote Ewelina Wojtyczka. "People lost months/years of their work. Apologies will not bring it back."
Adobe hasn't further commented on the bug outside Flohr's post. [...] While Adobe shouldn't be let off the hook for this error, perhaps the importance of multiple backups is the hard lesson we can learn from this.

So in other words, some people were trying to use a high-end graphics tool on a toy iPhone. Perhaps the real lesson is not to use a toy cell phone for real work.
Although that cloud crap needs to die too.

My first reading missed that. Only on Mac mobile operating systems? I have to agree, if you're using a iPhone as a computer, you're not doing much of anything right.

How about: Adobe was trying to sell expensive graphics tools to buyers of status symbol priced phones figuring they'd snag some without regard to the practicality.
