Summary
YouTuber Jon Prosser has finally filed a formal response to Apple’s lawsuit made against him and another defendant over allegedly stealing iOS secrets. Last July, Apple claimed in its lawsuit that Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti had a “coordinated scheme to break into an Apple development iPhone, steal Apple’s trade secrets, and profit from the theft.” Ramacciotti, Apple alleged, showed Prosser information about iOS from a development iPhone belonging to an Apple employee, Ethan Lipnik, in a FaceTime call. Apple claimed that after Prosser learned Ramacciotti “needed money” and that Lipnik worked at Apple, Prosser and Ramacciotti “jointly planned” to access the information in Lipnik’s iPhone. Prosser admitted to participating in a FaceTime call with Ramacciotti where he was shown “certain iOS features on the Development iPhone.”
