Apple Sues YouTube jon proser claim spying on employee for iOS 25 leaks trade secret case

Apple has sued Popular Tech YouTuber Jon Proseer and his partner Michael Ramacciotti at Federal Level. It is alleged that both of them illegally reached a prototype iPhone of Apple and leaked the interfaces and features of iOS 26. In this case, Apple has reportedly stated that the Proseer was offered a kind of deal for these leaks and deliberately published such clips on social media, which were the company’s trade secrets.

Losuit Document In (Via Macrumrs), Apple has claimed that a person named Michael Ramacciotti stole an apple engineer Eethan Lipnik’s passcode and tracked his location. When the engineer was not at his home, he accessed the device and showed Jon Prosser through facetime call. The Prosece then took the screen recording of the interface and posted it on YouTube and other platforms, which according to Apple, Professor also earned from Ed.

Apple told the court that Proseccie and Ramacciotti had already written the script of this entire plan. He exposed Apple’s secrets by bringing internal iOS 26 build in public, causing damage to the company. The company says that it was not just a leak, but a “cordinated hack”. Apple also fired Lipnik from the job after this.

Now Apple is demanding compassionary damage from both of them, along with the innovation, ie prohibition in this case. On the other hand, Prosser said in the statement that he was not involved in any conspiracy and he did not know how he got this information properly. He also said that he will challenge Apple’s claims in court.

This case is also considered to be big because till now most of the leaks used to get only unofficial warnings, but this time Apple has reached the court directly. This can also put pressure on other leakers and content creators and can make the company’s policy more strict in future.
