Apple has initiated legal action against Jon Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti in the Northern California District Court for allegedly leaking information about iOS 26. The lawsuit claims they misappropriated trade secrets and violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act by breaking into an Apple employee’s development iPhone to access unreleased iOS content. Apple seeks damages and aims to ensure any remaining confidential information is destroyed. The situation arose partly due to Ramacciotti's financial needs and collaboration with Prosser, who allegedly incentivized the breach.
