Apple has accused Jon Prosser of only partially complying with subpoenas in the iOS 26 leak case, according to a joint status report filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The report states that while Prosser has provided some responsive materials, he has failed to fully respond to Apple's requests and indicates he is retaining counsel while planning to move to set aside the default judgment entered against him in October 2026.

Apple served Prosser with document and deposition subpoenas on February 3, 2026, after the court accepted its request for default judgment when he missed the deadline to answer the complaint. The company says Prosser has acknowledged receipt of the subpoenas and provided certain responsive materials, but has failed to fully respond to all requests. Apple has extended the deadline for him to respond multiple times but has not yet received the limited discovery it seeks to understand the full scope of what Apple confidential information and trade secrets Prosser was in possession of and how he obtained it.

Prosser's attorney has now filed a separate status report confirming that Prosser retained counsel on April 13 and plans to argue his reporting is protected by the First Amendment. Apple says it intends to file a motion in federal court in Ohio seeking an order for Prosser to show cause why he has not fully complied with its subpoenas despite multiple deadline extensions.
