A July 2025 lawsuit by Apple against leaker Jon Prosser resulted in a default ruling, but that default has been set aside as Prosser has finally agreed to participate in discovery.
A rumor video posted by Jon Prosser in early 2025 suggested that he had seen the upcoming transparent UI design. Later, a lawsuit from Apple accused Prosser of conspiring with Michael Ramacciotti to steal secret contents of a test device owned by Ethan Lipnik.
Prosser didn’t respond to Apple’s July 2025 lawsuit, which led to a default judgement, but now that default has been set aside by the judge. This occurred at Apple’s and Prosser’s lawyers’ request on June 10.
Apple didn’t share its exact reasoning for giving Prosser a break here, as the default judgement would go in Apple’s favor. However, it seems that discovery could uncover more details about what occurred, which could lead to more harsh results.
Basically, it seems Apple wants the Prosser case to serve as a warning.
The order signed by the judge says that Prosser must produce all materials by June 9 and sit for deposition by June 16. Since both of those days have passed, those things surely have already taken place.
The judge also says Prosser has ten days from June 22 to file a responsive pleading to Apple’s complaint. It is unclear how Prosser might choose to plead given the circumstances.
In the time since the lawsuit began, Prosser has continued to post videos about Apple leaks. The most recent video was posted on June 17, so after his deposition date.
Prosser used to be a more trusted leaker, but has seemingly fallen into the habit of repeating other rumors rather than having his own sources. For example, the latest video on iPhone Fold is compelling, but lacks any new details or leaks.
