Apple Says YouTuber Jon Prosser Hasn’t Responded Yet To Lawsuit Over Alleged iOS 26 Leak

Apple has told a U.S. court that popular YouTuber Jon Prosser has not yet indicated when he plans to respond to its ongoing lawsuit against him. The company, in a new filing reported by MacRumors, said that while Prosser has publicly acknowledged Apple’s complaint, he has “not indicated whether he will file a response to it or, if so, by when.” Also Read: Apple Tipped To Launch iPhone Fold In 2026, iPhone 20 In 2027, And iPhone Flip In 2028

Earlier this week, Prosser told The Verge that he has been “in active communications with Apple since the beginning stages of this case.” However, the company’s latest court filing suggests that no formal action has yet been taken from his side.

Apple initially filed the lawsuit in July against Prosser and another individual, Michael Ramacciotti, alleging that the duo carried out a coordinated scheme to steal the company’s trade secrets. The filing claimed they broke into an Apple development iPhone and leaked information about iOS 26 features before the official announcement. Prosser, who runs the Front Page Tech YouTube channel, had posted videos earlier this year revealing details about upcoming iOS updates.

According to court documents, a clerk entered a default against Prosser last week, meaning he has not formally replied to Apple’s complaint, allowing the case to move forward. The tech giant stated in its Thursday filing that it plans to seek a default judgment, which would include damages and a permanent injunction against Prosser.

Meanwhile, co-defendant Ramacciotti has admitted to sharing iOS 26 information with Prosser but denied that any conspiracy or plan was involved. He said there was “no intent to monetize this information” and that there was no agreement for compensation when he contacted Prosser.

The filing also notes that Apple and Ramacciotti have “informally discussed settlement,” though no further details have been disclosed. Prosser has not yet issued any public statement following Apple’s latest filing.
