US court throws out lawyer's FaceTime eavesdropping lawsuit against Apple.

He should have seen that coming

A US JUDGE has sided with Apple and dismissed a lawsuit over the high-profile Group FaceTime bug in iOS 12.1.

The glitch (below), first outed in January, allowed anyone to call an iPhone or Mac and listen in before the other person picks up by exploiting a bug Apple's Group FaceTime feature.

While Apple promptly disabled the video-calling feature, Larry Williams II, a Houston-based lawyer, filed a lawsuit against Apple, alleging that the bug exposed "one's most intimate conversations without consent". 

The disgruntled lawyer argued that Apple "failed to exercise reasonable care" and claims the company "knew, or should have known, that its Product would cause unsolicited privacy breaches and eavesdropping."
