The same way all those people fit inside my TV!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Ahh Tenby. Fond memories indeed.
Me and the boys used to nick tourist's cameras around there, take a moonie photo, and put it back.
Happy days

Doesn't iCloud automagically sync the 'Camera Roll' folder?...that's why so many naked pix of celebrities wound up on the net?...maybe you could check his iTunes?...just a thought...not an Apple expert...

Yes, unless you go the trouble of finding out how to make it stop, apple copies all your personal stuff to its servers, for sale to the NSA and any lower bidders (not yet proven).
Savvy, intelligent users switch it off as quickly as possible.

Well, I was just suggesting to the OP that he might suggest to his friend to log onto his iCloud to see if the NSA Apple made a backup of his pix 
I got an iPod 5th Gen for XMas last year...been taking pix...dunno if they got synced to iCloud, I haven't disabled anything...never logged into iCloud to check  ...don't think anyone cares about pix of my cat or the birdies in the back yard though

Tell him to phone NSA.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

He never said it was an iPhone...
Anyways, if it was a Windows Phone it would automatically sync to skydrive as well.

Low those many years ago people could not understand why I could not upgrade their $5K computer to run windows. I have shown one of my friends copy and paste 3 times and he will ask again and again say that it is brand new to him. He has a masters degree from an accredited university.
I think I'm going to start telling people I am a file clerk.

One of my friends knows someone who can't remember how to load Word from one day to the next, and had to call him every day until he finally hit on making a large JPEG which was a list of instructions of what to do, and making that the screen background on the guy's computer. I pointed out that it wouldn't have taken much more time to set the guy's feet into a block of concrete and dump him into the ocean... after all, it's not as though anyone would miss him... but apparently, that sort of comment was uncalled-for, and don't I have any empathy? Hmmm... apparently not...

Best I had was when someone asked me in all seriousness "You're a computer programmer Bob, do you think you can fix my toaster?". errrr would that be running the .NET framework then?

Oh, Oh, oh!!!! App opportunity! An icon to turn on auto-sync when you're on vacation!
|
|
|
|
|
And follow on feature: to turn off auto-sync when taking naked selfies!
|
|
|
|
|
And a second app to run the first automatically for when you forget!

It could be done! Use location services to determine when you've entered a "tourist trap". And if we can remove red-eye, I'm sure an OS-level "nipple notification" wouldn't be too hard to add to the photo app!

Know how you feel on this one..
Friend: So what do you do for a living?
Me: R&D Software engineer
Friend: Awesome. You are good with computers! My computer is complaining about the hard-drive and makes weird noises when I try to turn it on. But no problem you can get all of my files right?
Thinking to myself: Ok.. In reality if the hard-drive isn't completely dead I probably could get the files if I used up the last of what little free time I have to work on your computer for free.... Sarcasm: "I should totally do this!!"
Then if you say no they get mad at you or offended.

Hopefully Tenby is still there, and still gets enough daylight for photos.

Sure, that happens to us guys in tech a lot!
But it's not limited to tech: I witnessed a situation where a lady walked in a shop and told the poor guy something like "I have an old black-and-white copy of a magazine page, could you please make a colored copy for me ?"... 
Just like with your phone issue, it's not technically impossible - only VERY expensive.
You can hire a boat and a diver to recover the phone, and the shop guy could use Photoshop to color the copy!
