Last year, YouTube and popular Apple leakster Jon Prosser got into trouble with Apple by leaking details about iOS 26 ahead of the official announcement. Now, Jon Prosser has offered his own legal response to the ongoing Apple lawsuit.
Jon Prosser offers response to Apple lawsuit
Basically in his response to the Apple lawsuit, Jon Prosser is effectively denying many of the company’s allegations. According to Prosser, he denied that he had planned or participated in any conspiracy or scheme for the purpose of injuring Apple. He also denies that he viewed information that contained trade secrets. He is also also denying that he knew the development iPhone belonged to former Apple employee, Ethan Lipnik. Lastly, Prosser also denied that he has possession of other confidential Apple information.
The latter bit is kind of odd. It was just last month Prosser published a video sharing more details about the upcoming iPhone Ultra. However, it remains to be seen whether those details end up being proven right.
That being said, what Prosser has admitted to is that he took part in a FaceTime call with his acquaintance Michael Ramacciotti. It was also during that call that he was shown certain features and apps part of the upcoming iOS 19 (which was later announced as iOS 26) update.
Prosser also seems to be shifting most, if not all, of the blame onto Ramacciotti. Prosser’s lawyer says that Ramacciotti’s decision to show off the iOS 19 features during the call were not induced by Prosser. As such, Ramacciotti is “completely responsible” for it.
A timeline of events
Ahead of iOS 26, there were rumors that Apple would revamp the design of the operating system. It would be getting a brand new Liquid Glass look, which was shown off prominently in Prosser’s video back then. Following Apple’s official announcement, Prosser was sued by Apple over the leak.
However, Prosser seemingly failed to respond in time, leading to a default filed against him. This basically meant that because of his lack of response, Apple would have won the case by default. However, Prosser later responded, and both the judge and Apple agreed to set aside the default judgement. He has also since agreed to sit down for a deposition in the case.
