Apple has sued the well-known leaker Jon Prosser for the alleged theft of trade secrets related to iOS 26.
Prosser has been accused of tasking another man, Michael Ramacciotti, with secretly accessing an Apple employee’s development iPhone and using that information to report on Apple’s planned changes in the then-unannounced iOS 26.
Apple says that Ramacciotti showed the software to Prosser over a video call, which Prosser recorded, shared with others, and used to create renders of the new designs.
Apple says it learnt about the source of Prosser’s information from this anonymous email.
I was unaware of how the information was obtained.”In its legal filing, Apple asks for both damages and a court order preventing Prosser from disclosing Apple’s trade secrets again.
