Here's the Latest on Apple Suing Jon Prosser Over iOS 26 Leaks

[SKeijmel]

How funny that you guys believe he has gotten a review unit just because he said so. This dude is a compulsive liar. He is just playing

 

[justanotherdave]

Do you have any credibility or you chiming in to support Apple? Lots of Apple supporters on here ready to convict Prosser on a civil case where no evidence has even been disclosed yet.

Lots of people trying to make Prosser innocent and assuming Apple is in the wrong.

Surely it’s not a criminal case so no lock him up could happen. But a hefty judgment in Apple’s favor would suck for Prosser but then he could just file bankruptcy and it would be pointless to go after more. And Prosser could just sell the YT channel and website to a shell company for $1 and would be untouchable if offshore.

He has to live in South Sudan then. A fitting end

Not responding, through lawyers, is a bad move indeed.

In fact, the info he leaked wasn’t even worth a lawsuit. Apple is so dirt cheap these days. He leaked what turned out to be nothingburger, not redesign. I feel bad for him if court sides with corporation

Like what, Apple going after those two Russians unboxing the M5 iPad Pros? Good luck with that! 😉

Same stuff with Chinese bloggers who constantly leak their info.

Probably this is because it would be a no-win case for them since courts in said countries are crooked and will side with leakers no matter what. In US they are playing tough guys just because they feel they can. But tbh I dunno what’s the point of such a greedy and fat corporation to go after such a small blogger as Jon Prosser.

It also shows that Apple has no control over their own supply chain if their unshipped devices land into hands of russian bloggers

How could Apple realistically control the supply chain in China? Once thousands of devices are made and are just sitting there awaiting their release, a few boxes can easily be “damaged” and sold to those YouTubers, probably for much more than the actual price of the device in question.

Prosser had yet to respond to the complaint or otherwise appear in the case

Lots of people trying to make Prosser innocent and assuming Apple is in the wrong.

Precisely, Apple is not going to waste money and resources raising a case without hard evidence.

Ridiculous. You’re not allowed to access another persons device without authorization. No agreement is required.

If you leave your laptop open and I walk by and see something on the screen, there’s no foul. But if I sit down at your laptop and start browsing it (say it’s unlocked) that’s illegal.

Unauthorized access to a computer doesn’t mean you have to break in or steal their password.

Yeah, just because the front door was unlocked doesn’t absolve you of breaking and entering.

If this was 15-16 years back, these leaks made lots of splash. They are worth nothing but can end up hurting Apple in trade rivalry.

 

[Silverado]

Maybe Apple will look the other way after he’s latest iPhone Air review.

So why are Apple giving him a review unit of the iPhone Air, someone who they have never given a review unit too before 🤔

Laying it on pretty thick. He’s clearly hoping Apple would forgive him.

imaging getting sued for releasing info on perhaps one of the worst ever iOS versions. Double whammy

Excuse me!

I happen to really like ios26 when it works correctly!

If I walk into a candy shop and the owner (Apple) gives me a candy bar and says, "I would appreciate you telling others about this candy bar", that is much different from me walking into the candy shop (Apple), taking the candy bar without permission, and walking out. On top of that, when I took that candy bar without permission, I had my buddy distract the employee behind the candy counter so I could take the candy bar.

That is the very basics of what happened.

I find the analogy much more complicated and hard to follow than the actual facts of the case.

Laying it on pretty thick. He’s clearly hoping Apple would forgive him.

He mentions a review unit in the video and is clearly holding 2 iPhone Air boxes.

 

[satchmo]

The desire for attention on social media has screwed-up a lot of peoples lives. They seem to lose common sense when the possibility of 400,000 views appears. If that's even what he got.

What does that even translate monetarily speaking? Or are these leakers just in it for the notoriety and clout?

 

[btrach144]

Posner has always come across as smug and cocky.

He flew too close to the sun this time though. It’s gonna hurt falling out of the sky.

If he's actually facing a default judgement he can only be very stupid: that would be basically giving Apple a literal no-contest win.

The guys play is most certainly chapter 7 after a default judgement. Not acting accelerates the process with less legal expense. This advise was probably recommended to him by an attorney believe it or not. I was once recommended similar for something on a much smaller scale.

 

[RickDEGH]

They should sue him for a BILLION dollars and then he will be broke living on the streets

Why would you wish that on someone?! Because he leaked somewhat inaccurate info on an unreleased software of your favourite tech company?! Absurdity!

 

[svish]

Interesting. Waiting to see what will happen! Don't know why Prosser has not responded.
