This guy posted that the iPod Hi-Fi was the original iPod Dock and it generated a lot of copycats. When I pointed out it wasn't true he ran away, tried to redefine the topic, and insulted me.

I'll just say it here: I don't know who this dude is, but I wouldn't trust a word that comes out of his mouth or on his social media feeds. He's apparently selling Apple posters (does he have the rights?) and fancies himself an expert on Apple design.

He sure seems like a phony to me.

Update: He's blocked me on Twitter and Threads now. I have no idea if he's plying his trade on Mastodon, too.

@jsnell A few fun facts:

• presents icons and ui work on his site he had nothing to do with
• claims to be a ‘protege’ of Steve Jobs, come on man
• used an ai generated Steve Jobs voice to give a fake “keynote speech” for a project of his, one of the most tasteless things i’ve ever witnessed
• posted to twitter some beautiful teacup icons he “made” and when I replied to ask why he’s not saying they’re A.I. generated he hid my comment

Just red flag city all the way down

@cabel Yeah, I mean his profile seemed super questionable before, but I couldn't help but call him on the outright fabrication about an event I attended during a time I know quite well.
@jsnell @cabel I think you should shine some light on this guy. Should be easy to find out if her ever worked at Apple, no?
@eierund @jsnell He HAS worked at Apple, but what I’ve heard is that (allegedly) his accomplishments are being wildly overstated by him. The problem is, of course, you’ll never get an Apple employee to say that on the record — which makes for a very convenient window of grifting opportunity (allegedly).
@cabel @eierund @jsnell Maybe we crowd fund £398 and get Jason to ask him everything for an hour…
