Jon Prosser Provides Update on Apple Lawsuit Over iOS 26 Leaks

[TMRJIJ]

He shouldn’t be in active communication with Apple. He should be in active communication with his lawyers. Let them do the talking and don’t miss anymore court dates

 

[tenjikuronin]

Calling the court liars is a bold move. Let's see if it works out for him, Cotton.

He shouldn’t be in active communication with Apple. He should be in active communication with his lawyers. Let them do the talking and don’t miss anymore court dates

Unless something changed, I think he is representingting himself and does not have a lawyer..

 

[centauratlas]

"...regardless of what the court documents say — I have, in fact, been in active communications with Apple since the beginning stages of this case"​

And if he failed to respond in court, that is all irrelevant since there was a default judgment issued. That is a 1L procedure fail right there.

 

[farmboy]

There is nothing to settle anymore. Apple requested and was granted a default judgement because Prosser apparently didn’t respond in court to Apple’s allegations leaving him open to a default judgement. The damages may be mitigated through a settlement negotiation but he has lost the case unless he is able to successfully appeal the default judgement (highly unlikely since his inaction caused it to be entered in the first place).

Succinctly correct.

 

[centauratlas]

No, it's not. Apple submitted documents to the court declaring that Prosser has not responded to the suit. Unless we're to believe that Apple's lawyers are willingly throwing away their bar licenses and opening themselves up to sanctions, Prosser is lying through his teeth.

I suspect that what they said is that he hasn't responded in court (not that he hasn't responded to them). And as far as the court is concerned, if you don't respond to a lawsuit, you are done and a default judgment can be issued.

 

[MacLawyer]

In most states you have something like 30 days to come in and ask to set aside a default judgment. That said Prosser is playing with fire it would seem.

 

[blairh]

Jon is a pathological liar. Nothing new here. He's done.

It doesn't matter, it's clearly a material omission for a party to ask the court for default judgment while secretly negotiating a settlement on the side. You don't play word games with a federal judge. I would be slightly more likely to believe it if the case actually mattered, but over this picayune nonsense? Please. There's a 0% chance that's what happened here.

 

[Max Webb]

imagine going throuThis iOS version is probably the worst Apple has released and will be outdated soon! 😂 Imagine all that hassle for that too he's definitely regretting his life's choices.

This is federal court so he'd have up to a year (FRCP 60), but only for good cause like fraud or misrepresentation, improper service, newly discovered evidence, etc. He doesn't have a prayer.

 

[Bigbuddy1]

Imagine being up against the legal juggernaut that is Apple Inc. - couldn’t be happening to a nicer guy. 🙃

Yes because that’s what they do use all the money available to squash the little guy from YouTube but it’s a different story when they come up against epic and Spotify and governments who have the funds to take them on it’s a very different story isn’t it

 

[Kabeyun]

"All I can tell you is that regardless of what is being reported, and regardless of what the court documents say — I have, in fact, been in active communications with Apple since the beginning stages of this case," said Prosser, in a statement published by The Verge. "The notion that I'm ignoring the case is incorrect. That's all I am able to say."

Yes, he has to be careful what he says, but if he’s trying to refute apple‘s position, he didn’t.

 

[GeeEllBee]

I wish Prosser my sincere best. I find Apple’s lawsuit wholly misguided. They ought to be going after their former employee, for his sloppiness and negligence. The sight of an ultra-resource-wealthy Apple going after individuals lacking such obscene amplitude of resources makes my stomach turn in disgust.

I’m confused. Did Epic, Spotify or a government steal Apple’s IP and publish it for their own financial gain?

I must have missed that.

 

[mag_076]

The guy needs to go and get a real job.

 

[Mactagonist]

This whole situation is a textbook example of what not to do.

discuss and document crimes on the victims own messaging and communication platform, sure!

think you can talk your way out of it, sure!

ignore the judge, why not!

🤦🏻‍♂️

No what you said was imagine being up against a legal juggernaut that is Apple Inc
And I was agreeing with you that is easy to squash a little youtuber with your funds available but it’s a different story compared with epic and Spotify and governments when it comes to this stuff

 

[CapitalIdea]

If what they claim he did was true, he’s a colossal piece of garbage who ruined someone’s career who did nothing wrong but happen to choose a bad roommate. Just for that he should be sued by that guy. As for Apple, I’m fine if they crater him financially on top of it for profiting over stolen trade secrets.

I see, I see. Thanks for clarifying, and yes, it’s a whole different ball park when big corporates are on the other side of the table. Even more so when they’re ganging up…

 

[spazzcat]

Uh, you didn't file your court docs.

This guy is going to have a bad time if he thinks BS weasel words "they say I didn't respond, but I've been communicating them!" will work in court. 👀

I agree, the court will ask for the docket numbers for his filings.

 

[bg1419]

I’ve always thought Prosser was a bit of a prick but I don’t necessarily think he deserves to have his career and financial life ruined whether he’s actually guilty or not. But he’s also an idiot for getting involved with anyone shady enough to do something as blatantly wrong as tricking a friend into allowing him access to a private device through deception. That’s the guy who really deserves Apple’s wrath

 

[Darajavahus]

Apple is cringe with it's lawsuits, as are the fanboys defending them, liquid my ass.

 

[Kr0019]

Hopefully not, hes the only one I can stand. Everyone else are just Apple Advertisers. Not reviewers.

Marques Brownlee is one of the best and objective reviewers on the web. He doesn’t hold back if he feels things aren’t right. Unlike your pal Jon, Marques has integrity and intelligence and is well balanced without resorting to criminal activity to be relevant.

I do not consider speeding at over 90MPH in a 35MPH child zone as being intelligent, yet that is exactly what Marques did, nobody is perfect. Also I don’t see any ‘real’ criticism from Marques in his reviews either because if he did he would not get to interview Apple Execs or be given free review samples. But.. he is better then Jon.
