Former Obama Spokesman Jay Carney still rumored to be considering Apple PR job

Is former White House Press Secretary Jay Carney talking to Apple about becoming its new head of PR? That’s the question still circulating around Silicon Valley after a pair of conflicting reports came out earlier this week.

According to a friend of Carney’s who spoke anonymously to Bloomberg, Carney has indeed talked to Apple about potentially filling the recently vacated position.

We still don’t know beyond a shadow of a doubt if it’s true, as Apple (of course) isn’t commenting and neither is Carney. “I’m talking to a lot of different people about a variety of potential opportunities,” he said in a statement. Carney was recently touring many big companies in Silicon Valley, and with no head of PR at the moment, Apple would likely be near the top of his list to visit.
