Apple filed a lawsuit earlier this month against former software engineer Andrew Aude, alleging he leaked info about products he hated to a journalist saved in his phone as “Homeboy.”
Apple has demanded a jury trial and seeks damages in excess of $25,000.
Joe Rossignol for MacRumors:
Aude joined Apple as an iOS software engineer in 2016, shortly after graduating college… The lawsuit alleges that over a five-year period, Aude used his Apple-issued work iPhone to leak information about more than a half-dozen Apple products and policies, including its then-unannounced Journal app and Vision Pro headset, product development policies, strategies for regulatory compliance, employee headcounts, and more.
In April 2023, for example, Apple alleges that Aude leaked a list of finalized features for the iPhone’s Journal app to a journalist at The Wall Street Journal on a phone call. That same month, The Wall Street Journal‘s Aaron Tilley published a report titled “Apple Plans iPhone Journaling App in Expansion of Health Initiatives.”
Using the encrypted messaging app Signal, Aude is said to have sent “over 1,400” messages to the same journalist, who Aude referred to as “Homeboy.” He is also accused of sending “over 10,000 text messages” to another journalist at the website The Information, and he allegedly traveled “across the continent” to meet with her…
Apple believes that Aude’s actions were “extensive and purposeful,” with Aude allegedly admitting that he leaked information so he could “kill” products and features with which he took issue.

…what a ridiculous child. He is a shame on his blood line and his ancestors. They survived wars, famines, plaques for him to behave like this? May he learn from this and make amends for the shame he brought.
I believe he’s looking for work outside of tech.

The political garbage ought to be banned from this forum. It brings nothing positive to the conversation, just the hurtful feelings of a bunch of angry folks clearly on the Right.
Sam, we can see the anger literally dripping from your lips, you poor man.
We shall all have to pray for you.
Remember when all the lefties on here had so many upvotes via the old star system? Pepridge Farms remembers
And now MDN changed the system so they cant cheat with their VPN anymore and magically all those extra votes disappeared.
This is a wacky mac site and even for this they couldnt help but cheat on voting.
That tells you all you need to know about 2020 and 2024…there is no depths of depravity they wont stoop to, and have no honor. They always cheat lie and steal. And after they do, they project all their sins on others.
Gen. Z – showing once again they are the dumbest generation ever.
Based on the incredible stupidity of Gen z, the world is doomed
It used to be that each generation was smarter than the previous. No longer the case. Not by a long shot
