Defendants misbehavior was brazen and egregious, states Apples filing.
After Mr.
Prosser discovered that Mr.
Ramacciotti needed cash, which his buddy Ethan Lipnik worked at Apple on unreleased software application styles, Defendants jointly prepared to access Apples private and trade secret info through Mr.
Lipniks Apple-owned development iPhone.Apples main source of info appears to be an audio message sent to Lipnik by Ramacciotti, which Lipnik then offered to Apple.
An April 4 e-mail from an anonymous source, also shared in the filing, named Lipnik as the source of the leaks and declared the involvement of Ramaciotti and three other names that are blacked out.According to the filing, Lipnik has actually been fired from Apple for failing to follow Apples policies created to secure its confidential information, including development gadgets and unreleased software application and functions.
The filing also implicates Lipnik of stopping working to report numerous prior breaches to Apple.For his part, Prosser declares that Apples timeline of events is incorrect.This is not how the scenario played out on my end, Prosser published to social networks late yesterday.
Thankfully have invoices for that.
I did not plot to access anybodies phone.
I did not have any passwords.
I was unaware of how the information was acquired.
Eagerly anticipating speaking with Apple on this.Prosser then published a screenshot from a messaging app, dated to February, which indicates that he had actually been sent out the details about the Liquid Glass redesign unsolicited.Apples match is seeking damages from Prosser and Ramacciotti, and it wants to safeguard its trade tricks and prevent Messrs.
Ramacciotti and Prosser from continuing to act unlawfully.
Although the company has actually already openly revealed iOS 26 and the Liquid Glass design, Apple explains Prosser and Ramacciotti as an ongoing risk because Lipniks phone included other announced design elements that remain confidential.
