Apple filed a lawsuit against leaker Jon Prosser and associate Michael Ramacciotti for allegedly stealing confidential iOS 26 information. The company claims the pair conspired to access a development iPhone belonging to Apple employee Ethan Lipnik. Prosser reportedly offered payment to Ramacciotti for device access and tracked Lipnik's location to determine optimal timing. Ramacciotti then used FaceTime to show Prosser the unreleased software features while Prosser recorded the session. Apple terminated Lipnik after receiving an anonymous tip identifying his involvement.

The leaked materials enabled Prosser to create accurate renders of iOS 26's interface elements months before Apple's official announcement. Apple seeks both an injunction preventing further disclosures and monetary damages for the breach. The development iPhone contained additional unreleased trade secrets beyond the publicized features. Prosser responded that he remains unaware of the situation's full scope and welcomes discussions with Apple. The case highlights Apple's aggressive protection of proprietary information before product launches.
