Apple is still waiting on Jon Prosser’s YouTube revenue reports, channel analytics and third-party communications in its leak lawsuit, and Prosser’s lawyer says he has already done what he agreed to do. The latest joint status report was filed on October 7.
As reported by MacRumors, the joint status report belongs to Apple’s case against Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti over leaked iOS 26 features.
Apple Says It Has Waited More Than Three Months for Prosser’s YouTube Records
Apple filed the lawsuit in July 2025 and alleges that Prosser and Ramacciotti coordinated to access an Apple employee’s development iPhone and profit from unreleased software information. The company is seeking damages and an injunction against further disclosure of its trade secrets.
In the new filing, Apple says it first requested the YouTube materials more than three months ago. The company wants revenue reports, channel analytics and communications with third parties, which it says bear on Prosser’s alleged financial gain and on how its confidential information was obtained and shared.
The fight over documents is not new, because Apple flagged delays in August as well. Apple also says it is willing to discuss its disclosure with the defendants’ lawyers.
Prosser Says Apple’s Trade Secrets Became Public When iOS 26 Launched
Prosser’s lawyer says he has already met the discovery obligations agreed when the parties sought to set aside the default against him, and that Apple keeps asking for more each time he produces records. He also argues that the trade secrets Apple identified became public once iOS 26 and macOS 26 were released.
The lawyer questions whether some of those secrets were ever secret, given earlier disclosures by third parties, and says Apple’s written descriptions lack images that would make the claims easier to assess.
In his formal response in July, Prosser admitted joining a FaceTime call in which Ramacciotti showed him features running on the development device. He denied taking part in a coordinated scheme and denied that what he saw was a trade secret.
Apple disputes that picture and says Prosser’s deposition testimony and his Signal messages with Ramacciotti suggest the two worked together to obtain and disclose confidential information for financial gain. That contradicts Ramacciotti’s denial of a conspiracy.
Ramacciotti Wants a Court Conference in October
Ramacciotti’s lawyer says his client is unwilling to be drawn into Prosser’s discovery dispute. He has asked Judge James Donato for an October conference where Apple would explain what further evidence it needs.
He also wants Apple to either dismiss its claims against him or commit to trial within 30 days of that conference. A second deposition and updated written answers from Ramacciotti depend on Apple first providing a roadmap to resolution.
If the court does not grant the conference, the parties plan to file their next status report on December 2, 2026.
