Jon Prosser Denies Apple Leak Conspiracy, Admits Recording iOS 19 Call

Summary
Prosser’s court response denies joining any scheme to harm Apple but admits he recorded a FaceTime call showing unreleased iOS 19 features, took screenshots and later shared some of that material.
The filing says Michael Ramacciotti alone obtained and disclosed the information, while Prosser denies knowing about any phone break-in, location tracking, passcode access or even whose development iPhone was involved.
Prosser also acknowledged giving Ramacciotti part of his YouTube ad revenue after publishing three 2025 leak videos, saying the payment was to preserve exclusive communication rather than a prearranged bribe.
After missing Apple’s original complaint and drawing a default entry, Prosser retained counsel, agreed to a deposition, won the default’s removal and now seeks a jury trial as Apple pursues trade-secret claims.
