YouTuber Jon Prosser has filed a formal response to Apple's lawsuit over stolen iOS secrets, denying involvement in any coordinated scheme while admitting to sharing leak footage and revenue.

Prosser's court filing refutes claims that he "planned or participated in any conspiracy or coordinated scheme" designed to harm Apple. However, the response contradicts this denial by acknowledging key details: Prosser recorded a FaceTime call displaying unreleased iOS software and shared YouTube revenue from leak-related videos with the person who provided the information. Apple filed the lawsuit against Prosser and another defendant, alleging theft of confidential software details. The YouTuber's strategy appears to focus on distancing himself from broader conspiracy claims while accepting responsibility for specific actions. Prosser, known for posting early Apple product leaks and rumors, has built a substantial following through exclusive information. The lawsuit represents one of Apple's enforcement actions against content creators and sources who distribute pre-release details about unreleased products. The case continues as Apple pursues legal remedies for alleged intellectual property violations.
