Jon Prosser seeks another shot to respond to Apple lawsuit
Key Points:
- Apple sued Jon Prosser last year over leaking the Liquid Glass visual revamp, also suing Michael Ramacciotti for allegedly accessing an Apple employee's iPhone and sharing unreleased iOS 26 information with Prosser.
- Ramacciotti cooperated with the lawsuit, but Prosser missed several deadlines to respond, leading to a default judgment against him in October, forfeiting his right to contest the allegations.
- In April, Prosser retained new legal counsel who filed to vacate the default judgment, claiming Prosser has meritorious defenses to Apple's claims.
- Apple and Prosser have jointly agreed to ask the court to set aside the default judgment, with Apple stating this is the most efficient way to move the case forward; the final decision rests with Judge James Donato.
- If the judge approves, Prosser will regain the chance to formally respond to the lawsuit and participate in discovery.
