US EditionApple Sues YouTuber Who Leaked iOS 26’s New “Liquid Glass” Software Redesign
SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 18 – Apple seeks an injunction and damages for trade secret theft involving iOS 26 leaks tied to a development iPhone and internal employee breaches, the company said.
- Apple filed a lawsuit on July 18, 2025, in Northern California against Jon Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti for misappropriating trade secrets related to unreleased iOS 26.
- The lawsuit alleges Prosser and Ramacciotti accessed a development iPhone belonging to Apple employee Ethan Lipnik by acquiring his passcode and tracking his location to time unauthorized entry.
- Ramacciotti showed the unreleased iOS 26 interface to Prosser via a recorded FaceTime call, which Prosser used to create videos revealing redesigns including the Liquid Glass UI before Apple’s June WWDC unveiling.
- Prosser contested Apple’s account of the events on X, denying any intent to access the phone and expressing his willingness to engage in a conversation with Apple regarding the matter.
- Apple seeks an injunction and damages for trade secret theft, while Lipnik was fired for policy violations, and the case could impact how confidential information is protected amid ongoing concerns about leaks.
