Apple has provided an update on its lawsuit against Jon Prosser, who is accused of stealing trade secrets from the tech giant. According to a report by The Verge, Prosser has not indicated whether he will respond to the lawsuit or when he might do so.
The legal dispute arose when Prosser, known for leaking Apple-related information, posted videos revealing iOS 26 features before their official launch. Apple’s lawsuit alleges that Prosser and another individual, Michael Ramacciotti, collaborated to unlawfully access Apple’s development iPhone, steal trade secrets, and profit from the information.
Despite Prosser’s acknowledgment of Apple’s complaint, he has not yet responded to the lawsuit, leading to a default judgment being entered against him. Apple intends to pursue damages and an injunction through a default judgment against Prosser.
Ramacciotti, who admitted providing iOS 26 details to Prosser, claimed there was no formal plan or conspiracy to exploit the information for financial gain. The filing also mentioned that Apple and Ramacciotti have explored settlement discussions.
