YouTuber and Repair Specialist Louis Rossmann Alludes to Apple Lawsuit

The article does not confirm Mr. Rossmann is facing legal action by Apple, and despite the word 'alludes' in the headline, the article itself is extremely disingenuous:

"Apple isn't happy about it."

"[I]t's clear that Louis has been threatened by Apple"

"Apple appears to not only want his YouTube channel removed, but his business terminated."

"Apple is successful, free speech will have lost yet another major battle"

None of these statements are supported by either Mr Rossmann or Apple; in the relevant video, Mr Rossmann does not even mention Apple.

This is all idle speculation. Even HN was caught up in the Apple blaming, despite a complete lack of supporting evidence: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12016253

Agreed. I'm all for repairing devices, but this really seems like an attention grab, at least until there is any actual evidence otherwise.

Using this as an attention grab doesn't seem to fall in line with Rossmann's character based on his 'philosophy' videos he posts.

You think someone would do that? Just lie, on the internet?
