YouTuber Admits Recording Apple Secrets
3 Jul
Summary
- Jon Prosser denied conspiring to steal Apple's secrets.
- He admitted to recording and sharing unreleased iOS software.
- Prosser blamed another defendant for trade secret disclosures.
Jon Prosser has filed a formal response to Apple's lawsuit accusing him of orchestrating a scheme to steal iOS secrets. Prosser denied any planned conspiracy to injure Apple. However, he admitted to recording a FaceTime call that showed unreleased iOS software and sharing revenue from his YouTube content about the leaks with his source.
Prosser further argued that the second defendant in the case bears complete responsibility for the alleged trade secret disclosures. Apple had previously claimed that Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti engaged in a coordinated effort to steal trade secrets by accessing an Apple development iPhone.
This response comes after a default was entered against Prosser for failing to respond formally. He later retained counsel, agreed to a deposition, and successfully petitioned the judge to set aside the default, allowing him to submit his defense. Apple has not commented on the active litigation.
The case centers on Prosser's YouTube videos in 2025, which detailed an unannounced iOS 19 featuring elements similar to Apple's later revealed iOS 26. The alleged leaks stemmed from information obtained via a FaceTime call showing the unreleased software.
