Apple says Jon Prosser ‘has not indicated’ when he may respond to lawsuit

Apple’s statement about Jon Prosser’s lack of an anticipated response to their lawsuit is about as revealing as a chameleon wearing a beige raincoat. Let’s dissect this carefully crafted, utterly unhelpful pronouncement and gently, yet firmly, point out the gaping holes in their narrative.

First, let’s acknowledge the obvious: “has not indicated” is legal-speak for “we desperately hope he doesn’t.” It’s the equivalent of a politician saying, “We are committed to transparency.” Transparency is roughly as likely to occur in this situation as a penguin spontaneously developing a penchant for salsa dancing. The very phrasing suggests a level of anxiety that’s frankly, adorable. Apple, the company that once famously told Steve Jobs that “just do it” was a terrible slogan, is agonizing over whether a YouTuber with a penchant for leaks will bother to respond to a lawsuit. The irony is so thick you could spread it on toast.

The underlying claim, of course, is that Prosser’s “active communications with Apple” are somehow a problem. Let’s unpack that. “Active communications” implies a dialogue, a negotiation, perhaps even a sincere desire to resolve the situation. But no. Apple’s response neatly sidesteps any implication that they might be engaged in anything beyond asserting their right to defend themselves against accusations of misrepresenting information and intentionally misleading the public. It’s like saying, “The bear is hungry, but we haven’t indicated whether we’ll share our honey.”

The assumption driving this whole charade is that Prosser’s continued contact with Apple automatically equates to a threat. Why? Because he hinted at those communications? Because he’s a prominent tech YouTuber known for uncovering leaks? Because he actually *did* leak information about upcoming products before Apple officially announced them? The logic here is so flimsy, it could be shattered with a well-aimed pebble. The fact that Prosser’s “active communications” likely involve Apple attempting to understand the basis of the lawsuit and potentially negotiate a settlement is entirely absent from their carefully worded statement.

Apple’s defense seems rooted in the deeply ingrained belief that anyone who questions their narrative is inherently malicious. This isn’t a robust legal strategy; it’s a PR panic. It’s the equivalent of a toddler throwing a tantrum because someone took their favorite toy. They’re not defending the truth; they’re simply trying to control the narrative, which, let’s be honest, they’ve been spectacularly failing at for months.

The lawsuit itself, a significant legal challenge for Apple, is being handled with the strategic brilliance of a caffeinated hamster. It’s a testament to the lengths a company will go to protect its carefully constructed image, even when that image is built on a foundation of strategically released rumors and, frankly, a bit of deception.

Let’s be clear: the fact that Prosser is talking to Apple doesn’t negate the legal claims. It simply adds another layer of complexity to a situation already overflowing with speculation, accusations, and frankly, a lot of unnecessary drama. It’s a classic case of playing defense when you should be focusing on building a stronger, more transparent, and less strategically leaked offense.
