LET ME TILT AT MY WINDMILLS!Tombstones are a method of storing deleted records in databases, whether its a record keeping track of deleted items or a marker to tell the database to go back later and reclaim the space. There's nothing necessarily creepy (or ominous as per your original text) about the naming in this context.
I'm not saying this is the case, but its entirely possible that Apple might store the records in such a way and then go back later and clean them up in bulk. It's then possible that the cleanup procedure wasn't working properly. Again, not saying this was what was happening but with the naming of the record and how they seem to have "resolved" the issue recently its one possibility.
would you say that you..., just..., shatyourself?I do but... wait... crap.
I can imagine the same lengthy defence/explanation/riposte/excuse if it were Google………...Tombstones are a method of storing deleted records in databases, whether its a record keeping track of deleted items or a marker to tell the database to go back later and reclaim the space.

I can't say that I'm surprised but I am very disappointed. We'll not get any response from apple short of it being a "bug"
Too many companies seem to hide behind it was a bug excuse when they're caught hanging on to data they probably shouldn't have. For a company that seems to pride itself on privacy, this is rather disappointing.What else are you looking for from them, though?

Forbes tried using the Phone Breaker software created by Elcomsoft and was able to retrieve nearly 7,000 records dating back to November of 2015. Site names, URLs, Google searches, visit counts, and the date and time items were deleted were included. It's not clear why Apple was storing the information for so long, but it appears to have been an oversight related to ensuring information is deleted on all devices once cleared rather than intentional.
Super sketchy indeed.I saw this on iCloud.com.... I was shocked to see photos I deleted on my phone and computer, appear on the website.. Sketchy
