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

Lots of people trying to make Prosser innocent and assuming Apple is in the wrong.
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
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.
Precisely, Apple is not going to waste money and resources raising a case without hard evidence.
If all of this is true, then Jon might be a bad friend/person, but his videos are 100 times better than whatever Sam produces. Sam's videos are repetitive and bad. Sam seems like a good guy, but AI can create better content than he can. I also agree with the stabbing in the back. Instead of trying to help him/find a solution, he goes on the next low tier podcast and talks about everything.
I suspect he showed them everything by indirectly telling them where to find things and then went for a walk and gave them time to see all the stuff. But then he got caught and told Apple they stole his phone.
Ended the podcast because Jon didn’t allegedly paid Sams friend. (This is probably true because he didn’t pay other people too). Than went to a podcast to gossip and told everything that happened between the two. If my friend had financial problems and he was ashamed to tell me I would not cut ties and go to a podcast to gossip about that.
Yeah, just because the front door was unlocked doesn’t absolve you of breaking and entering.
Went out for coffee or something while leaving his device to leakers and they somehow knew how to get into the device. Too me it looks like that was their ploy and how to make sure he doesn’t lose his job at Apple. The good old going for a walk while leaving information on the table.
Laying it on pretty thick. He’s clearly hoping Apple would forgive him.
I believe the three individuals are at fault, the former Apple employee for negligence, the other two for looking too close where they shouldn’t have. That said, don’t lose sight of the fact that preceding each and every Apple product release, for time immemorial we have all been subjected to a litany of leaks and speculation both trivial and not. By this standard, these iOS 26 leaks are nothing new. I will say that it strikes me as rather disingenuous that resource-ultra-rich Apple has chosen to go after individuals who do not share such amplitude of resources, meaning financial and legal. Moreover, to the best of my knowledge, Apple has never once suffered a drop in sales as a result of product leaks. Apple’s stance also strikes me as quasi-totalitarian in nature and perhaps even the embodiment of the mighty corporations’ ever increasing grip upon the same people keeping their coffers overflowing with profits. If I were Tim Cook (who incidentally keeps slobbering over and after Donald Trump despite Cook’s sexual orientation and political leanings), I’d drop the lawsuit like a hot potato.
I find the analogy much more complicated and hard to follow than the actual facts of the case.
He mentions a review unit in the video and is clearly holding 2 iPhone Air boxes.
What does that even translate monetarily speaking? Or are these leakers just in it for the notoriety and clout?
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.
Why would you wish that on someone?! Because he leaked somewhat inaccurate info on an unreleased software of your favourite tech company?! Absurdity!
