TL;DR:Ā Apple has sued popular YouTuber Jon Prosser and a man named MichaelāÆRamacciotti, claiming they secretly leaked unreleased iOSāÆ26 features using a stolen Apple employeeās test iPhone. Apple says this leak was a full-on #TradeSecrets heist šØ and wants the court to stop them + give money damages šµ. Prosser says he didnāt do anything shady and is ready to fight it out šŖ.

š Whatās Apple Saying?
Apple is super angry right now š¤. They claim that Michael Ramacciottiāwhoās friends with an Apple engineerāused the engineerās special test iPhone š§Ŗš± (called a "dev iPhone") to do video calls š and secretly show unreleased #iOS26 stuff to Jon Prosser š±. Apparently, he used the engineerās unlocked phone when the guy was not looking š.
And guess what? Apple says Prosser even promised payment or actually paid for those leaks šø. The company also found a voice note where Ramacciotti allegedly says, āProsser is the mastermindā š³.
Apple is now suing both of them under U.S. #cyberlaw and asking the court to:
Stop them from leaking anything more š¶
Pay up for damages done š°
šļø Prosser Fires Back
Jon Prosser didnāt sit quiet š¤. He said, āI didnāt plan anything,ā and that he didnāt 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 šļø.
He also says he has proof š½ that shows he didnāt know how the guy got the access, and is ready to defend himself š¼.
āļø Why This Is A Big Deal?
This whole mess is not just about one leakāitās about how far big tech companies like #Apple will go to protect their secret recipes š. This could scare other YouTubers šØ who do leaks and tech updates. Apple is drawing the line hard ā.
Also, this dev iPhone had more than just public beta stuff. It had top-level test features 𤯠not even shown in developer previews. So Appleās likeāthis is not gossip, this is theft š.
š What This Means For You?
š YouTubers and tech news peeps might get more careful now š¬š Leaks on the next iPhones and iOS might go down šš Apple might tighten rules even for its own workers š§āš»š But some people feel Appleās becoming a control freak š§
š¬ MediaFx Youth Angle (Indian English)
Broooo š© this is like one spicy #techdrama! A normal techie guy and a popular YouTuber are now getting smashed by one of the worldās biggest companies š„. For us normal folks, itās fun to see whatās coming in new iPhones before launchābut not by betraying someoneās trust or spying š.
From people's angle: this looks like another rich vs small creator fight š. But if someone used their friend's job access to give secret info and got paid for it? Thatās super dodgy š āāļø. We feel bad for the engineer who got tricked too š¢.
We believe in free speech and press š¢, but not in breaking rules and leaking stuff that might risk someoneās job or hard work š¤. Apple has every right to stop such dramaābut also should be transparent and kinder to its workers and the public š«.
