Apple highlights legal delays in lawsuit against Jon Prosser
Apple reports that Jon Prosser’s legal team has not responded for a month, citing personal reasons, while discovery continues in the trade‑secret lawsuit.Summary
Apple filed a lawsuit in July 2025 accusing Prosser and co‑defendant Ramacciotti of stealing trade secrets related to unreleased iOS 26, alleging they accessed a development iPhone belonging to engineer Ethan Lipnik. Prosser missed deadlines, leading to a default in October 2025, but the default was set aside in June 2026 after a petition. In a joint status report filed Wednesday, Apple’s counsel said it has not heard from Prosser’s legal team for a month, attributing the delay to the birth of his second child and parental duties. Apple continues to seek damages and a permanent injunction to prevent further disclosure of trade secrets, while Ramacciotti has been cooperating and is scheduled for a second deposition in September.
