Apple complains about YouTuber that pulled iOS 26

The leak is one The continuous part of the big product news cycle, especially for companies like Apple. Online Soothsayers, such as Jon Prosser and Mark Gurman Bloomberg, have long predicted the content of Apple’s future announcements, citing anonymous sources from within the company to show future effects. They are often accurate enough to become a real pain for CuperTino.

Now, Apple has had the opportunity to combat leakage. In a complaint by the US federal court for the northern California region on Thursday, Apple accuses a prominent John Promot that is said to be an Apple development iPhone, Apple’s business secrets and profit from theft. “

The petition claims that, along with a accomplice, Proseser, who makes videos on the front page of the YouTube channel, he deliberately used an Apple employee named Ithan Lipponik, which accessed an iPhone that was destroyed as software and is currently as iOS 26. Phone Development and Display Details of Unpublished Software for Proseser about a video call. Proseser is then said to have used the information obtained early on iOS in the movies he had sent on his YouTube channel before Apple officially announced updates.

The petition also claims that Ramacciotti has claimed the entire plan, and promises Ramacciotti to “find a way for it [Mr. Ramacciotti] To receive the payment. “

Proseser has denied any violation and says the suit details are incorrect. In public posts in X, Prosse has stated that the situation is not the end.

Progress wrote for me through the direct message about X: “Details that Apple has been given.”

Prodress does not deny that it has revealed the information taken from Ramacciotti. He highlighted details of unpublished updates in a series of films earlier this year, including what he called the news “the biggest ios leak ever”.

Despite the question of how he really got the information, the consequences have been dirty. Apple employee Ethan Lipponik, who had a development telephone that is said to have access to Ramacciotti, was fired by the company. According to the complaint, Apple ended Lippical’s employment “because of Apple’s policies designed to protect its confidential information, including development devices and software and unpublished features.” “

Apple has not responded to comment requests. Ethan Lipponik has also not responded to the request.

“This is a very important petition,” says Anhel Sag, the main analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. “But I also believe that there is a disagreement between what the prostrate says and what Apple claims, especially as the employee seemed to be aware of what was happening.”

The biggest problem here is that while the data was better than a development device that had to be protected, how the data came from, and where it came from before details to the world should have been examined.

“In the end, every company fights the leak, especially Apple, but in the United States, the company has more power and rules to support its efforts,” Sag says. Many Apple leaks have historically come from resources outside the United States, including within the production and supply chain partners in Asia. Since the complaint about the events that are said to have happened in California, it can argue in the federal court that the two US laws – the law of defense of commercial secrets and the law of fraud and computers – have been violated.

Prosser says he did not even get information about the case until the case reads a MacRumors story.

“I feel awful that Ethan has ended,” says Proser. “I wish he had shared what happened with Apple, and I wish Apple would be in touch with me for more answers. I was happily chatting with them.”
