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

[bsolar]

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.

Unless he has very little to his name, even mounting a procedural defense would typically be better than just taking a default, but you are right that in some very particular circumstances it is a reasonable play.

If he's failing to respond under legal advice he must either believe he has not much to lose from entering bankruptcy, or that his case is so hopeless that it doesn't even matter.

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.

If you return to my post and read it again you are likely to realize I took zero position on Prosser or Apple and their mess. I responded to your post asking if you had anything to back up what I viewed as rumor / speculation or if you were just throwing it out there. Credibility was not something mentioned by me.

Did Prosser and associated parties commit crimes or civil torts is a question for the courts. IF he and his buddies are found to have done as has been claimed by Apple, appropriate consequences will be delivered.

Where is Ethan Lipnik's involvement in all of this? He could have just leaked all the info to Prosser.

That's a good question. What's the answer?

 

[Chazak]

This sounds like an Apple's lawyer take on what happened. Lipnik could have easily given the phone to Ramacciotti all on his own accord.

Is there a basis for the speculation about Lipnik that you are posing in a few places on the thread?

Bankruptcy judges aren't that stupid.

Not that the judges are stupid but the law cannot take from an overseas corporation.

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.

It's not a movie, dude. Real life doesn't need a plot twist in every third act. Especially not a one-star, predictable effort like this, that makes no sense after a moment's thought.

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.

Yes however there is a difference because if I have the unreleased version of something then I’m responsible for that however if I show someone it & then they choose to upload footage or images of it then the 3rd party is not at fault because there is no agreement in place with the first party
That’s why apple are allegedly saying all this other stuff happened because they can’t realistically do anything about the YouTuber

 

[Pezimak]

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

Read the story, he worked with someone else to break into an Apple development iPhone of an Apple Software Engineer, he then made countless videos leaking accurate iOS 26 information months before release to earn a profit. He basically stole a companies iP and made a profit off it. BIG profit, some videos can be worth tens of thousands with advertising. Also Prosser seems to be the type of guy who lies a lot, he promises money for peoples work and forgets to pay them.

It is theft of Apples intellectual property and earning a profit from it, that is illegal in most places. Not sure he deserves to be sued for a billion and live on the streets, but if true and he is found guilty he does deserve punishment.

 

[Bigbuddy1]

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.

Again this is incorrect because the individual showed him the builds of iOS that is why the YouTuber is confident
That is why APPLE have alleged all this other stuff has happened because if the YouTuber has been shown the builds then the YouTuber is not at fault

 

[Bigbuddy1]

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

It’s not about evidence or money for apple
This is about control and to alert anyone going forward that we will squash you because they can’t restrict this YouTuber’s access to apple because they don’t give him any.

 

[The Game 161]

can't believe he's not even responded to it all

Exactly its just silly individuals saying let’s throw the book at him

 

[Bigbuddy1]

It’s very why would he be scared or respond if he’s got evidence that the YouTuber was shown it.
What’s odd & interesting is why if it’s so wrong in showing unreleased builds then why did certain apple related websites show it?

Prosser doing his best to face all charges 🤦‍♂️

 

[Graphate]

Prosser is either very stupid, or very confident.

Unfortunately these two things aren’t mutually exclusive.

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

btw, I think it's hilarious (in a sad, pathetic way) how there could be a article about Apple simultaneously ending world hunger while curing cancer, and someone would "yeah, but Liquid Glass sucks..." in the comments... 😂

They aren't doing any of those things and liquid glass does suck.

I suppose you have evidence that the YouTuber is guilty of these alleged offences or
The YouTuber actually has evidence to back up his stance hence his stance

And how do you know what 'evidence' Prosser has then? He is hardly going to put it on social media so unless you know him personally how do you know that?

The guy is a YouTuber nothing else
This comes down to control on apple’s part because as I have previously said they can’t restrict his access to them because they don’t give him any & they can’t sue him for showing unreleased builds from someone else’s device that they have chosen to show him.
So that is why they are allegedly saying he did all this now if memory serves me correctly the YouTuber has put text messages on his videos
This is all about control from apple by being a massive company they can squash smaller individuals due having a bigger bank balance hence why they are rushing for a default

What would have made this funnier is if you had written "make a picture of a guy with a blanket over his head and make it funny"

So you are basically claiming that Apples software engineer willingly gave Prosser unrestricted access to Apples development phone with Apples backing with zero proof to back up that claim. And attempting to paint a picture of Apple being the bag bad nasty guy because it is all there fault.
