Discovery procedures in Apple's lawsuit against leaker Jon Prosser and Ramacciotti are grinding to a halt, new court documents reveal. Apple sued the pair in July 2025, alleging they improperly accessed a development iPhone and revealed features of the unreleased iOS 26 during a FaceTime call. The firm views this as deliberate acquisition of trade secrets, not simple leaking.

Progress remains slow primarily because Apple contends Prosser has not fully complied with requests for materials related to the leak. While a default was entered against Prosser months ago for non-response, the company is still mapping the full extent of information accessed and distributed from the engineer's device. This effort goes beyond the public leaks.

Ramacciotti has been more cooperative, providing devices for forensic review and agreeing to further deposition. However, Apple is now preparing to seek a court order compelling further compliance from Prosser, suggesting increasing friction in the process. The case hinges on uncovering any confidential software that may still exist outside Apple's control.

The core issue remains unresolved as Apple seeks to trace the full data path, treating any unseeded leak as a violation of intellectual property that requires a comprehensive accounting of exposure. The next status report is set for June 10, 2026.
