Apple's Epic gamble: birthright citizenship ruling cited to overturn antisteering mandate
It’s not comparing people/citizenship with business moves. It’s challenging the limits of a 9th circuit district judge’s jurisdiction -something the Supreme Court established via a case involving birthright citizenship. This effectively eliminated district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions. Full stop. Actually, these limitations always existed, but rogue judges pretended they had more power than they do. The Supreme Court basically ensured they follow protocol from now on.anthogag said:I am guessing it won't work. Comparing people/citizenship and App Store developers will probably reference the famous case Apples vs. Oranges.
Apple will likely win this. If the 9th circuit fights, it will end up at the Supreme Court, which will likely rule in Apple’s favor within 5 minutes based on recent established clarification from said court.Nice to see Apple finding its backbone again.

One of these three Apple executives will probably be Tim Cook's replacement
It’s going to be Greg, barring any major shakeups from this point forward.Would be weird seeing two twin CEOs in Khan and Nadella. But the memes would die down after a bit.Still not sure what Khan actually brings to the table.Williams retired, so there was a hole that needed filling. Will it be a musical chairs thing? Or is Khan a sort of secret weapon?
with Cook, it was and had been obvious for a while - at least to those on the inside.Outside of Williams or Joz, hadn’t really gotten anywhere near that same kind of pulse.Whoever steps into that role, dang. Tough double act to follow.

Apple sues Jon Prosser over iOS 26 leaks
Which is why I surmise the real meat of the communication took place on Signal.Stabitha_Christie said:
On the contrary, the screenshot shows that he used his phone to communicate about what he was doing. For Apple to get a subpoena to search his phone they needed cause, he just provided it. He has just opened up the entire device to be reviewed during discovery. Now, any contacts and communications on that phone are fair game. He isn't just dumb he is profoundly stupid and no lawyer would have signed off on him doing that.9secondkox2 said:Prosser isn’t that dumb. If he were to discuss something that could implicate him, he’s do so in person or via pseudonym Signal chat.That text string was clearly designed to cover his butt should the need arise. Lo and behold…
but no question, what took place was wrong on the parts of himself and even more so the person he spoke with - and quite possibly the apple employee. Have a hard time believing an employee with THAT important of a secret “forgets” to properly handle/store/secure the device. And it’s clear that he was showing it off at the least to one person who didn’t need to know.As much as I love tech leaks, Apple should really go hard after the three of them. This is wrong. Were I the design team or apple leadership, I’d be beyond furious.And now that I think about it, he probably used Signsl on a totally different device than that iMessage. Prosser isn’t going to go around promoting unreleased trade secrets without a competent lawyer/legal team. People who tend to operate on the fringes of the law tend to be up to speed on how to hide what they’re doing.I like a good rumor or even leak as much as anyone. But on the big things, I just feel bad for those who worked so hard to surprise and delight only to be deflated by some lard with a camera and a platform beating them to the punch with their own creation.Prosser has his moments. But this was just really pretty sad.

Even after the horrible things the commentoprs here are making.
Why?
Because the whole reason people read the Internet web press (including this site) come for and crave the rumor mill disguised as journalism.
at least is site is evaluative in its content.
ive always enjoyed Appleinsider and others’ speculation and actual leaks. But I don’t favor the huge leaks, like the Liquid Glass leak. I think it’s cool when people speculate on a new ui. So let’s say the fact a new UI is coming is leaked. Ok. Cool. Exciting actually. But then to say its name and show renders based on the real thing is too much. Or to speculate that new AirPods Pro are coming out. Or that Apple is moving to a 2nm process for its SOCs, etc. great. But if they actually show spy shots of a Mac Pro Redesign, etc. then that’s pretty jacked up. Let us be surprised by a great apple presentation sprinkling fairy dust over it first.But it’s a really difficult thing. Let’s say you operate a “more upstanding” tech blog or rumor site. You can take the high road, but then 10 other websites are still going to show the leak and people will give them the click revenue instead. In the end, you’ve done nothing but hurt yourself. You haven’t helped anyone at all. Not Apple, not Apple fans snd customers, and certainly not yourself.It’s a crazy world.
