YouTuber Jon Prosser has finally filed a formal response to Apple’s lawsuit made against him and another defendant over allegedly stealing iOS secrets. In his response, Prosser denied that he “planned or participated in any conspiracy or coordinated scheme” for the “purpose of injuring Apple.” However, Prosser admitted to recording a FaceTime call showing unreleased iOS software and sharing revenue from his YouTube videos about the leaks with the person who showed him the information. Prosser also argued that the other defendant “is completely responsible” for the alleged disclosure of trade secrets.
Last July, Apple claimed in its lawsuit that Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti had a “coordinated scheme to break into an Apple development iPhone, steal Apple’s trade secrets, and profit from the theft.” Ramacciotti, Apple alleged, showed Prosser information about iOS from a development iPhone belonging to an Apple employee, Ethan Lipnik, in a FaceTime call. Over the course of a few months in 2025, Prosser hosted three videos on his Front Page Tech YouTube channel detailing an unannounced iOS 19 with elements resembling the Liquid Glass interface that Apple would go on to demonstrate at WWDC as part of its renamed iOS 26 operating system.
Apple didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. When asked about the case earlier this year, Apple spokesperson Jacqueline Roy told The Verge that “We don’t comment on active litigation.”
Months after Apple filed the lawsuit, a clerk entered a default against Prosser after he hadn’t formally responded to the complaint, meaning that the case could go on without him. But Prosser said in an April filing that he would finally be retaining counsel. In June, Prosser agreed to sit for a deposition, and soon after, Prosser and Apple asked the judge in the case to set aside the entry of default. He did, and gave Prosser 10 days to respond to Apple’s complaint.
Below is Prosser’s full response, if you’d like to read it for yourself.
