Well there you have it. If you want to learn what secret features Apple is working on, don't go to Apple Park to get inside information or to supply chain informants, go to the Apple tech guy in Missouri as he knows all the secrets!
Making fake 9-11 calls is a crime and making fake lawsuits should also be a crime.
This person is obviously a mental case who is behind numerous other cases that have been dismissed.
The lawsuit should immediately be dismissed and the plaintiff should be charged with a hefty fine to cover all fees and if it were up to me, jail time would also be included.
In the good old days, we used to lock up the mentally insane. Now, we allow them to walk around in public.
I think that would be unfair, disproportionate to the crime (is it a crime to begin with?). He needs all the help from medial staff for psychological disorders that he should get, not jail time.
From his handwriting it appears he had an issue with his cellular radio on his iPhone. At one point Apple was replacing iPhone 7s that had faulty cellular radios rather than shipping the device to a repair center to have the logic board replaced. They probably replaced his iPhone at the store or they did ship it out and ended up replacing his device.
Even if this guy was sane, and had “new” features on his iPhone that he created, he gave Apple permission to erase, and repair or replace the device when he relinquished possession of his device by signing a data waver and signing the repair authorization.
The link on Justia looks like the plaintiff is representing himself. That’s why there is a new case after his last one was dismissed. Clearly this man needs help.

We can talk to Reagan about why the mentally ill aren't hospitalized and receiving treatment; he repealed the Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 in...1981, the first year he was in office. The mentally ill weren't a concern for him and his supporters in congress.
You can't talk to Reagan as he is dead, but you could talk to his successors including Clinton and Obama and their supporters in Congress who did nothing to reverse it. I guess that wasn't a priority.
You are partially correct. For the most part his successors didn’t make it a priority. The lone exception is actually President Obama it was a priority but after the 2010 midterms the house and senate wouldn’t approved funding and that hamstrung his efforts.
It's obvious this guy is a few cans short of a six-pack. While our legal system allows anyone to sue anyone, it's also ripe for abuse. Apple will still have to pay legal fees to defend itself from what will obviously be dismissed.
Guy's definitely suffering from some kind of mental illness, but not so mentally ill that he can file court papers.

You have no comprehension of how the legal system works, evidently. There is no such thing as a "fake" lawsuit. A plaintiff can make a claim and present it to a court, and it is up to the court to determine whether it has merit and evaluate the claims of the case. Sometimes the court rules in the plaintiff's favor, sometimes the defendant's. It's not fake.

Actually, not quite. Fraud is fraud, and that rises to criminality. If it can be shown that it is fraud, and that the lawyer knew it was fraud, and was therefore participating in fraud, disbarment is certainly possible, as is being charged with a crime.
it’s true that you are allowed to attempt to sue for almost anything, but trivial lawsuits are usually thrown out. If a lawsuit isn’t thought to have a chance of being won, it can be thrown out. And if the plaintiff is shown to be in a state of mind that doesn’t allow for the understanding of reality, and the lawyer should know that, then that’s considered to be a cause for disbarment.

See this historical article from NIH. Under President Carter, there was substantial evidence of states were confining individual with mental disabilities who could and should be released, and freed from confinement. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2690151/
I'm usually fairly open-minded about how a news article not in my liking might just be someone else's cup of tea, but this "news" really is in bad taste. It's very clear that the person suing is suffering from some mental disorder, and yet AI is reporting this as they would a serious lawsuit; which serves no other purpose than to use his illness for other people's entertainment (and ad money).
This guy sounds like a head case. Besides Apple, he's tried suing his doctor and the IRS. Unfortunately I don't have an account to see the court details of the other 2 cases but I bet it's a fun read.
Yeah right. If this guy was so damn smart and practically developed iOS 12 like he claims, why would he need Apple to repair his iPhone? Such a software genius could surely pull off a menial iPhone repair. What a clown.
So, if I’m getting this right... he had a beta of iOS installed on the phone that had an issue, then they swapped it out for a phone that was working fine & had the current stable build of iOS.... & somehow he got it in his head that his personal phone was the only one that the beta code existed on and nobody at Apple had this “secret code” that was on his phone, & needed his phone in their possession or they wouldn’t be able to roll out iOS updates... therefore (though he’s not claiming he wrote any of the code) he believes he should get like 125% of the entire value of the world’s most valuable company.
Am I understanding correctly? This is breaking my brain.
Any lawyer who would take this case is abusing their client. The mentally ill need help, not to be taken advantage of. These claims cost the plaintiff large sums of money and get him nothing.
Not necessarily. First of all, we don't know that he actually has a lawyer and if he does, it could well be a contingency case.
