TL;DR: Apple has sued popular YouTuber Jon Prosser and a man named Michael Ramacciotti, claiming they secretly leaked unreleased iOS 26 features using a stolen Apple employee’s test iPhone. Apple says this leak was a full-on #TradeSecrets heist 😨 and wants the court to stop them + give money damages 💵. Prosser says he didn’t do anything shady and is ready to fight it out 💪.
🔍 What’s Apple Saying?
Apple is super angry right now 😤. They claim that Michael Ramacciotti—who’s friends with an Apple engineer—used the engineer’s special test iPhone 🧪📱 (called a "dev iPhone") to do video calls 📞 and secretly show unreleased #iOS26 stuff to Jon Prosser 😱. Apparently, he used the engineer’s unlocked phone when the guy was not looking 👀.
And guess what? Apple says Prosser even promised payment or actually paid for those leaks 💸. The company also found a voice note where Ramacciotti allegedly says, “Prosser is the mastermind” 😳.
Apple is now suing both of them under U.S. #cyberlaw and asking the court to:
Stop them from leaking anything more 😶
Pay up for damages done 💰
🎙️ Prosser Fires Back
Jon Prosser didn’t sit quiet 😤. He said, “I didn’t plan anything,” and that he didn’t ask for passwords or tricks to get inside that phone. He claims he just shared info that was sent to him like every tech journalist does 🗞️.
He also says he has proof 💽 that shows he didn’t know how the guy got the access, and is ready to defend himself 💼.
⚖️ Why This Is A Big Deal?
This whole mess is not just about one leak—it’s about how far big tech companies like #Apple will go to protect their secret recipes 🔐. This could scare other YouTubers 😨 who do leaks and tech updates. Apple is drawing the line hard ✋.
Also, this dev iPhone had more than just public beta stuff. It had top-level test features 🤯 not even shown in developer previews. So Apple’s like—this is not gossip, this is theft 🔒.
🌊 What This Means For You?
👉 YouTubers and tech news peeps might get more careful now 😬👉 Leaks on the next iPhones and iOS might go down 📉👉 Apple might tighten rules even for its own workers 🧑💻👉 But some people feel Apple’s becoming a control freak 🧠
💬 MediaFx Youth Angle (Indian English)
Broooo 😩 this is like one spicy #techdrama! A normal techie guy and a popular YouTuber are now getting smashed by one of the world’s biggest companies 💥. For us normal folks, it’s fun to see what’s coming in new iPhones before launch—but not by betraying someone’s trust or spying 😒.
From people's angle: this looks like another rich vs small creator fight 💔. But if someone used their friend's job access to give secret info and got paid for it? That’s super dodgy 🙅♂️. We feel bad for the engineer who got tricked too 😢.
We believe in free speech and press 📢, but not in breaking rules and leaking stuff that might risk someone’s job or hard work 😤. Apple has every right to stop such drama—but also should be transparent and kinder to its workers and the public 🫂.
