Steve Jobs: 'I don't know what the claims in the case are'

Six months before he died, Apple's Steve Jobs told attorneys he had "not much" understanding of why the company he co-founded was being sued in a class action case, according to testimony released Wednesday by Apple.

When asked early in a video deposition if he understood what the claims in the case were, Jobs replied: "I don't know what the claims in the case are."

Apple fought to keep Jobs from being deposed, as he was ill and on medical leave at the time. He died in October 2011.

The company is in the second day of a trial defending against allegations that it violated antitrust laws when it updated the iconic iPod in 2006. Plaintiffs allege that the move kept rivals off the platform, while Apple says it was a legitimate product improvement.
