Apple says Jon Prosser has only partially complied with subpoenas in iOS 26 leak case

Key Points:

• Apple and Michael Ramacciotti continue limited discovery in their trade secrets lawsuit regarding the leak of iOS 26 design details, with Ramacciotti agreeing to supplement responses and sit for a follow-up deposition.
• Jon Prosser, who had a default judgment entered against him for missing the complaint deadline, has partially complied with subpoenas but has not fully responded to Apple’s discovery requests and plans to retain counsel to seek setting aside the default.
• Apple intends to file a motion in Ohio federal court to compel Prosser to comply with subpoenas, citing his incomplete responses despite multiple deadline extensions.
• Prosser’s newly retained attorney has requested Apple to agree to vacate the default to avoid court motion and plans to argue that Prosser’s reporting is protected under the First Amendment.
• Prosser’s attorney also noted exclusion from Apple and Ramacciotti’s joint status report, highlighting ongoing legal strategy developments in the case.
