Jon Prosser Slows Down Apple Lawsuit Due To Newborn Baby

The ongoing legal fight between Apple and YouTube personality Jon Prosser hit another roadblock this week. Following a lawsuit filed in July 2025 accusing Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti of stealing pre-release data from an employee's test device, the case faced multiple delays. Prosser missed early deadlines, which caused a default ruling that he later managed to get overturned. Now, the discovery process has stalled again. A new baby pauses the legal discovery process Since rejoining the case in June 2026, Prosser stopped responding to requests for legal materials. His legal team last communicated with Apple on July 6. According to court filings, Prosser recently welcomed his second child, leaving him without the time needed to provide the required documents. In his filing, Prosser promised to find dates to share the remaining discovery details with Apple's legal team. Apple seems understanding of the family situation and agreed to the requested delays. The joint court filing outlines approved extensions and new dates to move the process forward. A deposition is now scheduled for September 2026, and the next formal court filing should arrive on October 7. While Apple agreed to the extension, it remains to be seen if the company will take a softer approach when it comes to a final settlement or punishment. Prosser maintains he is not guilty, but if Apple wins the case, the court could prevent him from reporting on the tech giant's unreleased products entirely. Because leaking hardware and software details makes up a large part of his business, losing the ability to cover Apple news would strike a heavy blow to his career.
