Following a couple of deadline extensions, Michael Ramacciotti’s lawyer sent in his answer to Apple’s complaint in the Jon Prosser case. Here are the details.
A bit of background
Last July, Apple filed a lawsuit against Jon Prosser over two videos he published on his YouTube channel, with details of what turned out to be the Liquid Glass visual revamp.
In the complaint, Apple claims that the videos were made possible after another defendant, Michael Ramacciotti, broke into the development iPhone of a friend, Ethan Lipnik, who works at Apple.
Apple claims that Prosser “promised to ‘find out a way for [Mr. Ramacciotti] to get payment’ if Mr. Ramacciotti would provide access to Mr. Lipnik’s Development iPhone so Mr. Prosser could steal and profit from Apple’s confidential information.
Since then, Ramacciotti and Prosser have taken wildly different approaches to respond to the lawsuit.
Ramacciotti requested two extensions to respond to Apple’s complaint, which were granted by the court. Prosser, on the other hand, missed the deadline to send his answer, which prompted the court to enter default against him at Apple’s request.
In a statement to The Verge following the entry of default, Prosser claimed that “regardless of what the court documents say,” he has “been in active communications with Apple since the beginning stages of this case.”
