The lawsuit between YouTuber John Prosser and Apple is still ongoing. But it seems that it is far from over as Apple is reportedly constantly requesting new information. Now, it seems that Apple wants YouTube data on Prosser. This includes revenue records, channel analytics, and third-party messages to see if he might have benefited financially from his leaks of iOS 26.
Apple seeks YouTube data on Prosser
According to a joint status report, Apple is still waiting on the YouTube data reports on Prosser, including channel analytics and messages with third parties. It first asked for them more than three months ago. Apple says the material would show how its confidential information was obtained and shared. More importantly, whether Prosser made money from it.
Prosser’s lawyer sees it differently. He says Prosser already handed over everything he agreed to when the default against him was lifted. Each time Prosser sends records, the lawyer claims, Apple asks for more.
The lawyer also argues that the trade secrets in question aren’t secret anymore, since iOS 26 and macOS 26 are out. He questions whether some were ever secret, given that third parties talked about them earlier. And he says Apple’s written descriptions come without images, which makes them hard to judge.
Apple disagrees. It says its disclosures are fine and it’s willing to talk them over with the defense lawyers. It also points to Prosser’s deposition and his Signal chats with Michael Ramacciotti, which it says suggest the two worked together for money.
A brief history
Apple sued Prosser and Ramacciotti in July 2025. It claimed the two teamed up to get into a development iPhone that belonged to Ethan Lipnik, an Apple engineer and friend of Ramacciotti. According to Apple, Ramacciotti showed iOS 26 (still called iOS 19 back then) to Prosser over FaceTime. Prosser allegedly recorded the call and used it to make videos of the Liquid Glass redesign before Apple announced it.Â
Prosser then missed his deadline to respond. This resulted in a clerk entering a default against him in October 2025. But then fast forward to June 2026, Apple and Prosser asked the court to wipe out the default, and the judge agreed.
Prosser finally answered the complaint on July 2. He admitted he joined the FaceTime call, but he denied any scheme and has since put most of the blame on Ramacciotti.
