Jon Prosser continues to make videos about Apple leaks amid a lawsuit
Jon Prosser’s failure to respond to Apple’s initial lawsuit led to a default ruling against him, but Apple lawyers are willing to give him another shot if the judge approves.
Apple filed a lawsuit against Jon Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti alleging that they conspired to steal information about a pre-release version of iOS. An Apple employee, Ethan Lipnik, was fired after the event where the alleged conspirators accessed his test device.
For whatever reason, Prosser didn’t respond to Apple’s July 2025 lawsuit, leading to a default judgment being placed against him in October 2025. In the time since, Prosser has slowly begun to respond to court orders and has agreed to participate in discovery and deposition.
Since Prosser retained counsel in April and agreed to finally join in on the lawsuit against him, Apple has agreed that the default judgment should be set aside. According to the filing shared by 9to5Mac, Judge Donato has to approve setting the default aside.
If approved, the court will convene on June 16 for Prosser’s deposition. There is no telling what the results of this case will be, but Apple may seek barring Prosser from covering Apple leaks in the future.
Even as this lawsuit has gone on, Prosser has continued to share “leaks” pertaining to Apple, though they seem to be based on existing rumors or speculation. If he had sources before, they don’t appear to be active now.

I don’t know if he’s guilty of any crime, but Apple better be very careful about suing him because Jon Prosser is probably the most beloved Apple reporter out there. Apple could end up looking like the 1984 beast that Apple used to eschew.

MKBHD would like a word. Sure, Prosser is liked by a very specific niche, but “most beloved” is an incredible overstatement. He had some time in the spotlight with a few good sourced leaks, had several terrible calls in a row, got desperate, now he’s in a lawsuit that could end his career. Given his “toilet squad” I’d award him most cringe at best.

Journalist? Does he even call himself that? YouTuber sure, leaker, definitely. But he probably should avoid calling himself a journalist because if he did pay for that leak, it’s a good way of never working in the industry again.
