Apple has filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Jon Prosser for allegedly misappropriating trade secrets related to iOS. In the suit, Apple claims that Prosser hired Michael Ramacciotti to break into the phone of Ethan Lipnik, an Apple software engineer. Ramacciotti obtained the phone's password while at Lipnik's home and provided Prosser with a video call showcasing unreleased features. Prosser then purportedly recreated these features for his YouTube channel. The lawsuit emphasizes Apple's commitment to product secrecy and the vulnerabilities posed by potential internal leaks.
