Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign

Apple has filed a lawsuit against a YouTuber who allegedly leaked details about the upcoming iOS 26 software redesign, codenamed "Liquid Glass." The tech giant claims the YouTuber's actions have caused significant damage to the company's intellectual property and reputation. The YouTuber, who has not been named, purportedly shared details and images of the new software design ahead of its official release, violating Apple's non-disclosure agreements. Apple asserts that the leaked information has undermined the impact and surprise of the upcoming iOS 26 launch. In response, the YouTuber has stated that they have "receipts" to disprove Apple's allegations, suggesting that the information was not obtained through unauthorized means. However, Apple maintains that the leak has resulted in substantial harm and is seeking legal action to protect its intellectual property. The outcome of this lawsuit could have broader implications for the relationship between tech companies and content creators, as well as the ongoing efforts to maintain the secrecy of new product developments.
