Apple sues leaker Jon Prosser after a rumor video revealed a forthcoming transparent UI. The July 2025 complaint alleged collusion with Michael Ramacciotti to steal data from a test device owned by Ethan Lipnik. Prosser ignored deadlines, prompting a default ruling that favored the tech giant.

Apple’s lawyers requested the court to reverse the default on June 10, citing Prosser’s new compliance with discovery. The judge complied, ordering him to produce all materials by June 9 and sit for deposition by June 16. Prosser’s cooperation could unveil deeper details about the alleged theft.

Meanwhile, Prosser has continued to post videos despite the legal pressure. His latest clip, released June 17, offers no new information about the iPhone Fold, relying instead on recycled rumors. The case underscores the high stakes of insider leaks in an industry that prizes secrecy and rapid product cycles.

With the default removed, Apple can now pursue a full trial, potentially seeking damages that could reach millions. Prosser faces the risk of significant liability and loss of credibility. The court’s decision signals that even high‑profile leakers must comply with discovery or risk costly litigation.
