Apple, Prosser, and Ramacciotti Dispute Delays in Trade Secret Lawsuit
Key points
- Apple filed a trade secret lawsuit against Prosser and Ramacciotti in July 2025.
- Apple alleges Ramacciotti showed unreleased iOS features to Prosser via FaceTime.
- Apple seeks additional documents from Prosser and a second deposition from Ramacciotti.
- Defendants claim Apple is responsible for the case's delays.
Lawsuit Background
Apple initiated a trade secret misappropriation lawsuit against Jon Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti in July 2025. The lawsuit followed Prosser's videos leaking aspects of iOS 26, including the Liquid Glass visual revamp. Apple alleges Ramacciotti improperly accessed an employee's development iPhone and conducted a FaceTime call with Prosser to display unreleased iOS features.
Previous Case Developments
The case has experienced several delays. Initially, a default judgment was entered against Prosser for failing to respond to Apple's complaint, though this was later set aside. Ramacciotti has largely cooperated with Apple's discovery requests. However, since Prosser retained legal representation, all parties have increasingly disagreed on responsibility for the alleged trade secret disclosure and subsequent delays.
Current Disputes Over Delays
In a recent joint status report, Apple stated it is still waiting for additional documents from Prosser, requested over three months prior, including revenue reports and YouTube channel analytics. Apple also seeks to depose Ramacciotti again to address inconsistencies between his and Prosser's testimonies. Ramacciotti has indicated he will agree to another deposition once Apple provides a roadmap for resolving its claims against him.
