  Imagine risking a lawsuit from a trillion dollar company to get coverage of your (pre?) seed funding https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  I am very curious about how Apple knew the details of a conversation a former employee had with a reporter! https://daringfireball.net/... https://twitter.com/...

  I've never had a source in Cupertino, but this lawsuit gets me thinking about how the bigger or “better” stories that I have, the deeper potential trouble for sources. Then there's disappointing the teams at Apple that worked on whatever I'm reporting about. https://twitter.com/.…

  This lawsuit has the makings of a season of Succession. https://twitter.com/...

  Hey Apple you should add me to the list of people in that tool https://twitter.com/...

  Yikes, sure looks like Apple just sued a former employee for leaking its AR/VR headset plans. https://9to5mac.com/...

  When the guy in question resigned he texted the reporter about some secret documents and the reporter said “oh can you get me some secret documents” and the guy said “sure which ones” https://www.theverge.com/...

  @rsgnl A tidbit I have heard but never been able to work into a story: Apple has a special app for employees so they can bump phones and see if they are both disclosed on something and can thus talk about it together.

  I feel like one of those two linked pieces is not like the other 😅 https://twitter.com/...

  The role of Ernst Blofeld will be played in tonight's performance by Tim Apple. Also, WTAF TIM APPLE. https://daringfireball.net/...

  When my sources get hired by Apple they enter a black hole. I wonder why... https://twitter.com/...

  I love the little tidbits revealed in Apple lawsuits... https://twitter.com/...

  Apple also claimed the employee leaked details about an unannounced “Project X.” https://www.businessinsider.com.au/ ...

  This is bananas. Former Apple employee accused of quid-pro-quo'ing leaks for startup favors. https://www.scribd.com/... via @appleinsider @macrumors https://twitter.com/...

  @ChanceHMiller roll in that insider trading Apple lawyer for some extra plot texture

• @daniel_rubino Daniel Rubino on x

  Some damning and saucy claims here. I love how Apple literally has a “Project X.” Did they stamp manila envelopes in big red lettering that said TOP SECRET too? People in lab coats? Klaxon alarms? https://appleinsider.com/...

  On the employee selling Apple confidential data, there are two startups that Lancaster was involved with: Smart Mimic and Aphrodite, looks like only the former raised a million, so we are looking for a journalist that covers Apple leaks and Smart Mimic: https://daringfireball.net…

  I'm in so many convos right now trying to figure out who the Apple person leaked to is.
