Apple's wording is loose enough not to preclude it. "Not doing anything" is present tense, but they could still have said they were going to. No one has to be lying.
When Apple watched reached for comment on whether they just gave an indefinite extension: no comment.
When earlier reached for comment on whether they were restricting it: immediate non-denial denial.
- chrisbolt 6y ago> When Apple watched reached for comment on whether they just gave an indefinite extension: no comment. Where does it say that? The Verge says “ Apple did not immediately reply to a request for comment about today’s development.”
- cma 6y agoThat was 8 days ago, still no comment.
- BoorishBears 6y agoIt's pretty clear the comment you're replying to means they had no reply. Especially if you've read the article. And the article is now a week old, Apple never replied to any follow ups from anyone. It's fairly clear that developer relations did give Epic a termination date against Apple's higher level strategy in this case. The higher level employees are who the Verge would be interacting with, so they gave a reply based on their intentions. Of course, then the fact there was indeed a termination bubbled up, so they went radio silence.
