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

Apple’s statement, delivered with the characteristic precision of a Swiss watch, essentially boils down to: “Yeah, Jon Prosser was talking. Now he’s not. Move along.” It’s a masterclass in damage control, a shimmering fortress of PR built on a foundation of… well, a single, incredibly vague sentence. Let’s dissect this masterpiece of obfuscation.

The core argument, or rather, the single, trembling assertion, is that Jon Prosser has “not indicated” when he might respond to the lawsuit. Let’s unpack this. “Not indicated.” It’s the linguistic equivalent of the shrug emoji. It’s a brilliant tactic, of course. Instead of admitting they’re fighting a lawsuit brought by a prominent tech YouTuber who was, let’s be honest, aggressively leaking confidential information *before* the iPhone 15 launch, Apple’s opting for the soothing balm of passive denial.

The claim relies heavily on the assumption that any indication of a response – a simple “I’ll respond,” a declaration of intent, even a mildly irritated tweet – would somehow undermine Apple’s position. This is, frankly, astonishing. It suggests a level of paranoia usually reserved for governments trying to suppress dissent, not a tech company known for its relentless innovation. It’s as if they genuinely believe a simple answer would magically dismantle their entire legal strategy.

Consider this: Prosser has repeatedly stated he’s been in “active communications with Apple.” “Active communications.” This isn’t coded language, folks. It means he’s been talking to them. The fact that they now insist he hasn’t “indicated” when he’ll respond suggests they’re terrified of what he might say. It’s like a magician frantically denying they ever pulled a rabbit out of a hat.

The assumption that Prosser’s mere presence in ongoing conversations constitutes an ‘indication’ is, again, baffling. Let’s be clear: Prosser’s access to information, the very reason he was initially embroiled in a lawsuit, doesn’t automatically translate into a legal strategy. He could simply be seeking clarification, trying to understand the legal ramifications of his actions, or – and this is a perfectly reasonable possibility – trying to negotiate a settlement. Apple’s framing suggests he’s plotting to dismantle their legal team with a well-timed rebuttal, which, let’s be honest, is a frankly ridiculous notion.

The brilliance of this statement lies in its complete lack of substance. It’s a verbal black hole, a shimmering void of information designed to distract attention from the core issue: Apple was caught leaking information *before* the product launch, and they’re now using legal action (and this exquisitely vague statement) to try and control the narrative. It’s a defensive maneuver executed with the grace of a startled giraffe.

Ultimately, Apple’s response isn’t a strategic statement; it’s a carefully crafted panic. And, frankly, it’s pretty entertaining to watch. (SEO Keywords: Jon Prosser, Apple, iPhone 15, Lawsuit, Tech News, Tech Leaks, Apple Lawsuit)
