"Apple sued Prosser, who posted videos earlier this year showing off features that would debut in iOS 26 ahead of their official announcement, and another defendant, Michael Ramacciotti, in July. The company alleged that Prosser and Ramacciotti had "a coordinated scheme to break into an Apple development iPhone, steal Apple's trade secrets, and profit from the theft." A clerk already entered a default against Prosser last week, which means he hasn't responded to the lawsuit and that the case can move forward."
"In Thursday's filing, Apple said it "intends to file a default judgment seeking damages and an injunction against him." Thursday's filing also includes statements from Ramacciotti. While Ramacciotti "admits to" providing information about iOS 26 to Prosser, "no underlying plan, conspiracy, or scheme was formed" between them, Ramacciotti said. He also claimed that he "had no intent to monetize this information when he contacted Mr. Prosser, nor was there any arrangement at the time the information was conveyed that he would be compensation [sic].""
Apple sued Jon Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti in July, alleging a coordinated scheme to break into an Apple development iPhone, steal trade secrets, and profit from the theft. Prosser posted videos earlier this year showing features that would debut in iOS 26 ahead of their official announcement. A clerk entered a default against Prosser after he failed to respond, allowing the case to move forward. Apple intends to seek a default judgment with damages and an injunction against Prosser. Ramacciotti admits providing information about iOS 26 to Prosser but denies any plan, conspiracy, or intent to monetize the information. Apple and Ramacciotti have informally discussed settlement.
