Jon Prosser Agrees to Discovery in Apple iOS 26 Trade-Secret Suit After 10-Day Filing Order

Summary
June 22 brought Jon Prosser a new deadline: Judge James Donato gave him 10 days to answer Apple’s complaint after a prior default against him was set aside.
Apple agreed to lift the default because Prosser recently hired counsel and committed to immediately produce discovery, which both sides said would move the July 2025 case forward without further delay.
The lawsuit accuses Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti of using an Apple employee’s development iPhone to obtain and disclose unreleased iOS 26 details; Apple is seeking damages and an order barring further disclosures.
Ramacciotti had cooperated from the start, while Prosser had missed multiple response deadlines and disputed that account, making the discovery phase a key test of Apple’s trade-secret claims.
