A dramatic, abridged, annotated reading of Apple's lawsuit against former employee and alleged leaker Simon Lancaster:

Plaintiff Apple Inc. (“Apple”) brings this action to stop the misappropriation of Apple’s trade secrets by its former employee Simon Lancaster.

Despite over a decade of employment at Apple, Lancaster abused his position and trust within the company to systematically disseminate Apple’s sensitive trade secret information in an effort to obtain personal benefits. He used his seniority to gain access to internal meetings and documents outside the scope of his job’s responsibilities containing Apple’s trade secrets, and he provided these trade secrets to his outside media correspondent (“Correspondent”). The Correspondent then published the stolen trade secrets in articles, citing a “source” at Apple. On multiple occasions, Lancaster proposed that the Correspondent give benefits to Lancaster in exchange for Apple’s trade secrets. For example, Lancaster proposed that the Correspondent provide favorable coverage of a startup company in which Lancaster was an investor as a quid pro quo. Lancaster even recruited the Correspondent to serve as his personal investigator. In one instance, Lancaster requested that the Correspondent explore a rumor that could prove harmful to a company in which Lancaster had invested.

Google, Sundar Pachai, says they’re going to stop tracking our activity across the web just to target us with personal ads. Some think this has to do with Apple, with Tim Cook’s new App Tracking Transparency in iOS 14.5, which tries to compel companies like Google and Facebook to ask our permission, to get our consent before following us across apps and the web. That this is Google finally coming to terms with our right to privacy and to choose for ourselves. But it is absolutely none of those things…

Apple’s iPad Pro is good, really good, I love it, but it could be better. It could have closer to an HDR — high dynamic range — display, a way to attach teh Apple Pencil where it doesn't get knocked off so always, a FaceTime camera that's not giving us perpetually wicked side-eye, functional LIDAR portrait mode on the back, and Thunderbolt — maybe even dual Thunderbolt on both sides.

But can the next-generation iPad Pro (2021) really help fix all this...?

Last week, it was all “you keep using the word confirmed. I don’t think it means what you think it means.” I complained about it. Marques complained about it. The world cheered. And make sure you hit that subscribe button and bell so we can all keep cheering about it together. 

And anyone and everyone misusing and abusing the term, who isn’t utterly and unabashedly shameless, will just cut it the hell out.

But something else is going on that I’ve been noticing a lot lately — titles and headlines that say iPhone 13, but really have nothing at all to do with the iPhone 13, or iPhone 12s, or whatever Apple calls it next.

So, let's talk...

In this video, I’m going to tell you the exception to Tim Cook’s rule, to the Apple Secrecy Law, the one where the only acceptable answer to any question about the next iPhone or Mac — or whatever — is “We don’t discuss future products or plans”. The aluminum curtain dropped on every investor call, TV interview, event, briefing — everything. Every single time…. Except one…
