Apple Sues Leaker Jon Prosser Over Alleged Unauthorized iOS 26 Access
Apple is suing prominent tech leaker Jon Prosser, accusing him of orchestrating unauthorized access to a development iPhone running iOS 26. The lawsuit claims that Prosser collaborated with Michael Ramacciotti, who allegedly tracked an Apple engineer, gained access to their device, and shared a live video call with Prosser. Prosser then reportedly used this footage to showcase unreleased iOS 26 features in his own videos.

Apple uncovered the alleged breach through an anonymous tip and a voice memo from Ramacciotti, who reportedly admitted his involvement and implicated Prosser. The Apple engineer involved was subsequently fired for failing to secure sensitive data. Prosser, however, denies the allegations, stating he was not involved in accessing the device. Apple is seeking damages and a court order to prevent any future leaks.
