GoKawiilApple, Prosser and Ramacciotti clash over discovery delays in trade secret case
In a new joint status report filed with Judge James Donato, Apple said it is still waiting on documents from Jon Prosser and wants to depose Michael Ramacciotti again over inconsistencies in his testimony. Both defendants pushed back, disputing Apple's characterization of their cooperation in the lawsuit Apple filed in July 2025 over leaked iOS 26 features.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The filing suggests the case, which has already dragged on for months amid a default judgment and its later reversal, could face further delays before reaching trial. How the court resolves these discovery disputes may shape how much evidence becomes public about Apple's internal security practices and how leaks of unreleased software reach outside parties.
- Apple wants additional documents from Prosser and a second deposition of Ramacciotti.
- Both defendants dispute Apple's account of their cooperation in the case.
- The lawsuit stems from Prosser's videos revealing iOS 26's Liquid Glass redesign before launch.
