Apple is suing Jon ProSser for iOS 26 LECKS

At the beginning of this year, Youtuber Jon Proser announced several videos and showed what he was created as a restoration of what was referred to as iOS 19 at the time, and was finally unveiled by Apple as iOS 26 on the WWDC in June.

In his first video in January, ProSser showed a redesign of a camera app with a simpler sentence of buttons for the movement between photo and video modes, and he followed with a March episode of his genius -bar podcast, in which he showed the messages app with round navigation buttons at the top and rounded corners around the keyboard.

And he ended things with a video in April, which gave a more comprehensive view of the liquid glass new design, which ultimately debuted in ‌ios 26‌, with rounder, glass-like interface elements, pill-shaped tab beams at the end of certain Apple apps and much more.

While the redesign of the camera app did not match what Apple revealed for ‌ios 26‌, the general idea was correct and much of what ProSser was still showing, it was quite almost exactly to be seen, and Apple clearly noted when the company today submitted a lawsuit against ProSser and Michael Ramacciotti for abuse of trade secrets.

Apple's complaint explains how it claims that the series of events that have led to LECKS that focused on a developmental iPhone in the possession of Ramacciotti's friend and Apple employee Ethan Lipnik. According to Apple, ProSser and Ramacciotti have planned access to Lipniks Telephone, the acquisition of his passcode and the use of location tracking to determine when “he would have disappeared for a longer period of time”. According to Ramacciotti, ProSser offered financial remuneration to support access to the development of ‌iphone‌.

According to Apple, Ramacciotti accessed Lipniks Development ‌Iphone‌ and made a FaceTime call for ProSser. She showed ‌ios 26‌, which were executed on the development of ‌iphone‌, and ProSser recorded the call with screen capture tools. ProSser then shared these videos with others and used them to make Renderer from ‌ios 26‌ for his videos.

Lipnik's phone contained a “considerable amount of additional Apple trade secrets information that has not yet been publicly disclosed,” and Apple does not know how much of this information is owned by Prosser and Ramacciotti.

In order to protect his business secrets, Apple has filed the lawsuit to apply for an injunction against the further disclosure of Apple's confidential business information and requests compensation for misunderstanding.

The employment of Lipnik at Apple has already ended because of its failure to follow the company's guidelines to protect the development and the unpublished devices and the software. Lipnik was also unable to pass on Apple after he learned from others who recognized his apartment in the recorded call of ‌face time, with Apple learning the details from an anonymous e -mail.
