📱 苹果公司起诉YouTuber Jon Prosser及其朋友Michael Ramacciotti，指控后者非法侵入苹果员工Ethan Lipnik的开发手机，以获取并泄露iOS 26的早期功能信息。此举旨在保护苹果未发布产品的机密性。

💻 Jon Prosser在其YouTube频道“FrontPageTech”上，在WWDC（苹果年度开发者大会）前数月发布了多项iOS 26的新功能，包括重新设计的相机和“液态玻璃”设计等，这些信息被指是通过非正当手段获取。

⚖️ 苹果在诉讼中详细描述了其指控，称Ramacciotti在Lipnik家中趁其不在时获取了手机密码，并向Prosser进行了视频演示。Prosser随后通过屏幕录制等方式，将这些信息制作成渲染图发布，并向其他人展示，最终导致信息泄露。

🚫 Prosser本人在社交媒体上否认了苹果的指控，表示自己并未策划获取任何人的手机，也对事件的实际发展不知情。他强调自己的行为并非如苹果所描述的那样。

🔒 苹果公司表示，尽管有严密的安全措施，但仍无法完全阻止“恶意行为者”窃取其商业机密。公司已采取行动终止了涉事员工Lipnik的雇佣关系，并寻求法院判决赔偿及禁令，以防止Prosser进一步泄露机密信息。

In a lawsuit, Apple says a YouTuber commissioned a friend to break into Apple employee's phone.Jon Prosser leaked new features of iOS 26 months before WWDC.Prosser said he "did not 'plot' to access anyone's phone and was unaware of the situation playing out."

In January, YouTuber Jon Prosser began showing off early renderings of Apple's iOS 26 on his channel, FrontPageTech. First was a redesigned camera rendering. In March, he teased Apple's "liquid glass" redesign, before giving a more thorough look in April.

In a lawsuit filed Thursday, Apple says Prosser's leaks were ill-begotten. Apple sued Prosser and another man, Michael Ramacciotti, for misappropriation of trade secrets.

Prosser denied Apple's recounting of the events in an X post.

In the lawsuit, Apple says it received an anonymous tip linking Prosser's leaks to Ethan Lipnik, a software engineer at Apple from 2023-2025. Apple said it received the tip on April 4, months before the software debuted at WWDC, the company's annual conference where it launches products.

Apple alleged that Prosser commissioned Ramacciotti to break into Lipnik's development phone. Ramacciotti was a friend of Lipnik's, the suit says.

Apple says that while Ramaciotti was staying at Lipnik's house, he waited for his friend to leave, obtained the password for his device, and made a video call to Prosser showing off the features.

Apple alleged that Prosser then screen-recorded the video call, recreating the features in new renderings and publishing his copies on YouTube. Apple also says in the lawsuit that Prosser showed the video to other individuals, one of whom noticed Lipnik's apartment in the background, causing them to tip off the company.

"Apple takes great care to protect the secrecy of its unreleased products and features," the lawsuit reads. "These safeguards can only go so far to protect against bad actors determined to steal Apple's trade secrets."

Apple says in the lawsuit that it has since terminated Lipnik's employment. Apple did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Prosser, Ramacciotti, and Lipnik did not respond to email and social media messages seeking comment. Lawyers for Prosser and Ramacciotti have not yet been identified on the court docket.

"This is not how things went down on my end," Prosser wrote in response to a MacRumors story about the lawsuit on X. "For the record: I certainly did not 'plot' to access anyone's phone and was unaware of the situation playing out."

In its lawsuit, Apple asked the court for unspecified damages and an order preventing Prosser from disclosing other unreleased trade secrets that could have been on the device.
