Follow Canadian Immigration and Life in Canada: Robin Crowley, a woman from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, purchased a brand new iPad on "Black Friday" only to find that the device contained a large amount of private information, including photos and contact details from the previous user.
Robin stated that she initially thought she had bought a great deal on an iPad, but was shocked when she opened the packaging and powered on the device. Not only was the device not set to the default factory settings, but it also contained three pages of downloaded applications, hundreds of photos of family and friends, and 207 contact entries.
Upon further investigation, Robin discovered that the previous owner of the device was likely a woman from California, although she could not confirm whether she was an employee of Apple Inc.
Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, Apple has not yet responded to this matter.
Robin expressed concern for the previous owner and hopes to return the iPad as soon as possible and receive a brand new iPad of her own.
