Jon Prosser seems unfazed by Apple’s lawsuit

Jon continues to go after his favorite target, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman
Prosser is the kind of personality you either love or hate, and his constant insulting of Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman comes off as petty jealousy. Keep in mind that he has had some bad calls. For example, a few years ago he released renders of a flat-edge Apple Watch Series 7 that ended up looking nothing like the watch that was released by Apple. But Jon couldn’t have been that upset since Gurman was also blindsided when Apple didn’t release a flat-edge iPhone Series 7 timepiece.

Some believe that Apple set up both Prosser and Gurman by circulating fake photos of the Apple Watch Series 7 in order to make both of them look bad. If Apple did pull off such a thing, hoping that both would have their reputation knocked down a peg or two, it was a failure. Gurman has gone on to provide the best Apple leaks since the days when TF International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo could announce the soup of the day at the cafeteria in Cupertino six months in advance.
Let me run something by you
As for Prosser, he was still riding high, backed by the infamous FPT Toilet Squad, until Apple decided to sue him. I can’t say I know Jon personally, but it seems perfectly within his character to pick himself up off the ground, wipe the dust off his pants, challenge the suit, and stick his tongue out at Apple by continuing to show renders of the iPhone 17 Pro. However, before we praise him, let’s run something by you.
In his latest video, Prosser says that he’d like to display renders of the iPhone 17 Pro with an aluminum uni-body design. He then says that he can’t show that to us, presumably due to the Apple lawsuit. Is it possible that the renders he is showing off now are based on older leaks showing the glass sandwich design? If those images are wrong, he might have obtained them in a manner that is different than how he obtained the images that led to the renders that Apple is suing about.
Or perhaps Jon has no concern about showing the renders in his new video because they aren’t what Apple will release giving him an excuse for obtaining and publishing renders derived from them. Why else would he say that he would like to show us images (most likely renders) of the iPhone 17 Pro with the aluminum uni-body design, but he can’t?
