Apple Flags Delays in Discovery in Lawsuit Over iOS 26 Leaks

A joint court filing says one defendant has been largely unresponsive while the co-defendant agreed to supplement discovery and sit for a September deposition.

Overview

  • A joint status report filed Wednesday says Apple has not heard from Jon Prosser’s lawyers since July 6 and that some of his document productions appear deficient.
  • Prosser had earlier been held in default for missing deadlines but won a June 2026 order setting that default aside and provided documents and a deposition on June 16, 2026.
  • Apple sued Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti in July 2025, accusing them of taking material from an Apple engineer’s development iPhone and revealing pre‑release iOS 26 features.
  • Ramacciotti has cooperated with discovery, agreed to supplement his interrogatory responses, and is scheduled for a second deposition in September.
  • The parties expect another joint status update on October 7, and Apple is pursuing damages and a permanent injunction that could limit further disclosures and affect Prosser’s reporting business.
